Lessons in Destiny

While fighting against Destiny

I realized there was no point

Destiny is not something you can beat

Or that you can ignore

Fate is a destination

Destiny is your journey there

It's not someone's fate to change their destiny

Yet someone's destiny could be to change their fate

Destiny controls your actions

Your actions control your destiny

Destiny is not a straight course

Though it does lead you somewhere

Destiny was my lesson learned

The true, intangible feeling

Taught to me in the most ironic circumstance

By the most destiny-defying person

Destiny gives you freedom

Destiny gives you faith

Destiny gives you fear

Destiny gives you death

It is useless to fight against Destiny

More effective to work with it

Because it is something that is not breakable

But that we overcome everyday

Bound to Destiny

As are we all

And it will take me

Wherever it may
