Destiny

Destiny falls from my hand
Time and time again
I don't expect you to understand
How I begin and end

Where I let myself become consumed
With my short time here
How I should feel I should always lose
That I should never begin to care

I allow the bad things in
I bask in the positives as they fall away
The way I live is such a sin
To live my life in this careless way

I try to pack it in and let others shine
I suck it up and do what's right
Never bother with what is mine
Always hoping on the might

I might fall in love might strike it rich
Might write that American novel
Might be happy or be a complete bitch
I might be healthy or have to struggle

But what will become of me
When all I do is look back to the past
Only God knows what lies in destiny
And what is real and what will last
