Time Capsule

You are only eighteen, with the patience of the young.
Your five books to write by twenty-five are never getting done.
You have years in your near future that you hardly will enjoy
Except the times you're drinking like a man or acting like a boy,
You'll soon find dissatisfaction with your choices and your goals.
Your planning and your future will collapse, leaving a hole,
But don't panic – it's a hole you'll fill with things and want and need,
and the things you don't write now will be your future writing's seeds.
