My Destiny

by Romantic Lover   Sep 28, 2007


As I look back on recent years
I can't believe what I see
No matter how much I fight it
This seems to be my destiny

As I reflect on recent times
Pain has been my constant friend
Tethered to my heart
No sight of light at the end

So easy for others to say
"Don't worry, you'll be okay"
It's only a matter of time
Your worries will wash away

They say life is a challenge
A test of our true strength
To stand up for what's right
Having to go to any length

The path is quite rough
Broken hearts and a pail of tears
But the future must be bright
Not like my yesteryears

It's time to move on
Let go of all this strife
The thought tears me up
Never again to be a wife.

    I noticed you write alot of love poetry which is great but I wanted to see how you wrote with sad and dark poetry also. This was fantastic. Your quite the beautiful writer. This was heart braking and deep. Each word hit my heart. Well done on writing this. Don't stop writing. ~Mel

    Such a sad stanza... i'm glad you're writing again though. It's heartbreakingly beautiful
