Cruel Destiny

Cruel Destiny

A Poem by Yvonne Remington
"

Destiny is not only a noun, it can be more in the search for peace.

"

When you say dance, I dance!
When you say cry, I cry!
Chained to your every controlling whim
You hold the mystical key to my happiness

 

When I make mistakes, I sense you laughing
As if you were perched on my shoulder.
When something beautiful happens
It seems you do your best to take it away?

 

I’ve tried to rebel against your tyranny but
All you've left me, many times, were doubts
I wake in the morning only to wonder
What trial will you put in front for me this day?

 

What decision will you allow me to make
Decisions that you think are best for my future
But you don’t really care about my future
You only care about your own selfish desires.

 

You play with me like a tattered stuffed animal
Pulling out the stuffing and scatter it about
I gather up the pieces and plot my next move
Attempting to shun the dark shadow left behind

 

Leave my spirit and haunt someone else,
Someday I will win and own my own destiny
But until then I must fight you every step of the way
To overcome the obstacles you put in front of me

You constantly give me challenges,


One of us will win the fight but for now
The battle is not lost,   I’ll not give up
Not without a fight to the end
And may the better of the two of us win!
