Fate
I have let Fate rule over me,
Blind to the possible,
In my quest,
Of mediocrity.
I have walked the path,
And looked for the happy ending.
Only to see,
Nothing but to fade,
Into a memory.
I was blind,
To my Destiny
I shunned it,
And ignored.
But now I see,
That is not what Fate
Has chosen for me.
I am doomed,
To simply be.
And walk the path,
As laid out for me.
But whatever god may be,
He has no control over me.
I choose what my destiny shall be,
And whatever Fate may come upon me,
I shall not let it be the end of me.
I shall take command,
Of my Fate,
And take it in hand.
And all shall see
The Master of my Fate is me.
And I am not content to simply be.

But whatever god may be,
He has no control over me.
Wow...you have no idea how strong these words really are..the shunning of a higher path to seek your own road. I deeply respect that, by the way, just the writing of it. -

Introspective and thoughtful. Revealing for those who are looking for anwers to those questions. Mechanically could use some sprucing up. Even in free form their needs to be form to hook the reader and lead them along, lure them along, entice them along. Thanks for the thoughts and words.

I like the way this poem developed. you grew from acceptance to taking charge of your future.

very nice and a hopeful poem...It is nice how you started the poem with the person being accepting that fate is the ultimate end, and then make him (or her) go through the transition to being a person who says, no I control my life. I have control over me. Very inspirational.
I am pretty tired to seeing all these sad poems, my self included in this..but you have definitely lifted my day. Thanks, and Keep it up.
