EPC: Victim of Fate
This is the first installment of an infrequent
series I'll be doing from time to time called "Emo Poetry Corner." I
will share sad thoughts with you in an attempt to make you sad as well.
Of course, I say this tongue-in-cheek because the sad things are only a
smaller part of the whole picture, but I feel it's important to express
those thoughts regardless. This one I wrote almost five years to the
day. Enjoy!
Victim of Fate
V1
The stars were aligned in array,
I thought I could see the way.
The path to possible friendship –
Possibly more if the cards came out right.
That was all I dreamt for –
A chance to be the one for her.
I thought I could beat the odds,
And lift this curse I’m under.
C
Plan for love as you may.
Rely on hope to carry the day.
Wait for your white knight or princess.
Fly high your banner of expectations.
In the end it doesn’t matter –
Fate is cruel to those who depend on destiny.
V2
I thought my time had come,
But everything fell apart.
Just like that the dice was taken
From my hand before it was thrown.
The chance came and gone.
It vanished into thin air.
The unraveling took its toll,
And now there’s nowhere to go.
C
Plan for love as you may.
Rely on hope to carry the day.
Wait for your white knight or princess.
Fly high your banner of expectations.
In the end it doesn’t matter –
Fate is cruel to those who depend on destiny.
B
I’m told to make my own luck.
They say the hammer I hold’s
The only one forging my future.
The world’s owned by the bold,
And I should stop being afraid.
But their point’s wasted on me
Cause in the end, I’m fate’s slave
Bound to repeat this over and over.
C
Plan for love as you may.
Rely on hope to carry the day.
Wait for your white knight or princess.
Fly high your banner of expectations.
In the end it doesn’t matter –
Fate is cruel to those who depend on destiny.
