Dear Destiny

Dear Destiny

You stand at every gate

I’m always first yet always late

Time speeds forward, yet I’m standing still

But I won’t stop until I’ve had my fill

 

Launching out your javelins of doom

Darkness making my home my tomb

Sending forward a legion of blades

Set upon having my courage fade

Letting loose an armada of pain

Serving as my eternal bane

 

Feel myself slipping

Feel myself tripping

Reaching out towards the flame

Destiny, you shall learn my name

 

No matter how much I may fall

Or how long I’ll be forced to crawl

I will push past these iron walls

 

Forever trapped in the ring

Alone with fate and wrestling

Always a second too soon or a second too late

Heart tearing, choosing between love and hate

 

Grinning through the pain

Laughing all the while in the rain

Challenges lining up ahead

Actions telling more than I have ever said

Destiny, my bane and my friend

Know this, this hope within shall never bend

No matter how dreary

Even if I may grow weary

A smile shall greet each trial

There are times I will cry out

Still never falling to my doubt

Destiny, you are mine to control

I know it from the depths of my soul
