In the Dark Awaits

At night I lie awake
Wondering in the dark what awaits
Will I be remembered by thousands
Or will I be merely a whisper in the wind
Remembered only by family as
That kid
What is there in the dark
Is it light after darkness
Or am I condemned to never see the light
What is in my future that awaits
Will I be loved by all
Or looked down upon with contempt
What awaits me in the dark
Pleasure
Or heartache
I take my chances
And wait.
