Destiny

Destiny

A Poem by Leviathus Fortes

It's too late
To turn back time
Yet we try anyway
To go back to a day

When we found happiness
And we hold things in contempt
Of things over with and spent

The future here
Still we're living in the past
Clinging to those things
Things we want to last

Moving on
Causes so much pain
But dwelling on the past
Feels futile, feels the same

Hide emotions, we cannot
Cherished memories we've forgot
Yet they are still there
Even if we aren't aware

They have built us
Into who we have become
Whether good or are they bad
May we be grateful for we mad

Definition of our soul
The very thing that keeps us whole
Our heart is the true key
Of everything we can be

Do we follow on its path
To live and love and laugh
To breathe, even if there isn't air
Still we find the strength, still we try to care

Wrapped up in our own minds
Whatever are they for
Finding faith inside ourselves
Fighting a spiritual war

Is it too late
Is it over now
How did we lose our way
Does it matter what we say

Honest
Loyal and true
A trust and a respect
Honor we should not neglect

Self confidence
Trapped deep inside
A mask we wear upon our face
Behind a role in which we hide

No one can take it away
Or take it for themselves
That's not how it works
That's why its called "self"

Dare we do, to dream
A lie, or something more
Relish in our Hercule Will
Reach into our very core

Dreams are what you make them
So make sure that they count
Find their hidden truths
What are your dreams about

The true self that is in you
The one you hide from all
For fear that you find failure
And not get up from the fall

You drive yourself to have them
Search for every clue
Here's your chance, now will you take it
Destiny is up to you
