POEM STARTER
Write a poem about fate.
Whether you believe in fate or not, consider the many aspects of the notion, and see what you want to write about most.
Fate: My Spiraling Thoughts
Fate is real.
I do believe that now.
Fate is real, or I would not be in this situation, despite overthinking everything & almost manipulating any potential factor before I decided to let everything just play out.
Fate led me to my current dilemma.
So here’s a poem for you:
Fate speaks
I close my ears
I close my eyes
I cannot hear
What it wants to say
It can ruin my mood
Or make my day
Or make me stay
In this raging hell-hold fire
That seems to aspire
To continuously conspire
To hold me & hate me
To steal all my innocence
To take all the love I give
& spit back a poison
Is this a lesson?
But out of nowhere
A tiny boulder
Of trust, of lust,
Rolling out from the dust
No wonder I couldn’t see it
No wonder I couldn’t feel it
I had lost my spark
It was a shot in the dark
But it came through to me
Ran all the way free
& saved me from myself
A little elf on the shelf
I thought I was good
I thought it was real
But I was so wrong
Was it just me appealed?
I lost everyone
No, it wasn’t fun
When it took such a turn
& everything burned
I tried to come back
To this mess
Was it right?
I thought I put it to rest
But everyone was happy
& I was just here
You all just got over it
Like it wasn’t two years of our lives
Some of our lives
Was it so wrong to stay in the grief
Until it built up
Like a barrier in the reef?
Is it so wrong to ask for redemption?
Surely it isn’t the hardest temptation
To ignore
Or am I such a bore
That it wouldn’t even matter anyways?
This is where fate leads me these days
