Is that my destiny?
To witness myself over and over
through a shimmer of sunny day.
Reflections of the past as life goes by
at a speed that slows me down.
Is that my destiny?
To look up at another with troublesome eyes
and know my troubles are over.
Touching myself in a mirror that looks back at me
with the courage to put me in my place.
Is this my destiny?
Dare I look down at myself no longer
to rise as destiny commands.
On my own for he whom owns me
My calling echoes throughout my emotions
and I shall answer with an obedient YES.
This is my destiny.
No longer will I wait.

Wow
Such a short write but so powerful.
"to rise as destiny commands. On my own for he whom owns me" those words i feel are the most powerful especially when combined with "this is my destiny. No longer will I wait."
absolute power of ultimate emotion and devotion.

Now this is a great take for the picture.. And I see your 'special' touch in it. Even if no one else does.. I can read between some lines and words.

I love how you always go back to the question, "Is this my destiny", and at the end, you say, "This IS my destiny", like you're reassuring yourself. Beautiful.
