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
