Fate

 

Never decide your fate on lust,

When in doubt rely on trust.

Guide your heart to future ahead,

Rather than rust in a lonely bed.

 

Keep your mind open with goals and dreams,

Your life’s path travels like an open stream.

Obstacles arise as your age arises,

Your life is full of unwanted surprises.

 

The mind wanders in all directions,

Never end up in a deep depression.

Yelling and screaming as you choose your career,

Your parent’s put you down feeling hooked with a spear.

 

Confusion and guilt all in one trance,

The question is how long it will last.

I am only young with no guidance ahead,

I still lye in my lonely bed.

 

High School over with no path in sight,

How will I ever see the light?

My choices are limited as I age by day,

My eyes wake up as my day turns gray.

 

Parents insult as my emotions run dry,

I sit in the corner weep and cry,

I feel numb with no one to embrace.

I find my calling, lean on my knees and say grace.

 

I found the light ahead of my steps,

All the stress lays rest off my chest.

A gun, a badge a uniform to wear,

I raise my right hand and being to swear.

 

I walk to the streets with all eyes on me,

I run after those who try to flee.

My parents embrace body and soul,

I have finally outreached my goal.
