My

Peace, they say, is the enemy of memory.

My destiny was written in stone.
Therefore it is not mine to own.

My actions shall forever go uncontrolled.
So I wasn't given a map to this unchosen road.

My life is a fairytale by itself.
One that I know will never see a bookshelf.

My heart has started to rebuild.
Its lively beat was stilled.

My dreams now involve only you and I.
I love you and that is not a lie.

My hopes are that you stay with me.
And that the world just lets us be.

I've been looking for at least some sense of peace for months now- and I'm not finding it.
your description underneath the title is dead right, I believe.

and I hope it's going well for you.

Rhyming couplets never fail
but your meter lets you down
Life is not a fairy tale
it is the only thing you own
yours to share if you so wish
You cannot win if you don't dare
to just opt is most foolish
loneliness is hard to bear.
I really hope your dreams come
true but in the end its up to you
Although I truly wish you well
I have to say that time will tell.
If the love you feel is real
or it is only sex appeal

A very original and independent piece. It is filled with emotion he imagery is great. Good job!

No destiny written in stone. Seconds control life and death. I like this poem. Life can be a fairytale. You are correct. I believe life is more like a uphill climb to survive. I like the ending. A excellent poem.

I like the pattern in this one! To be honest, I've been reading a lot of great poems lately that have bad grammar, and this isn't one of them. Kudos on that! It's like a breath of fresh air.

There are only 2 things about this poem that I'm not too sure of. The first is why you used "so" in the 4th line. It seems like "because" would fit better, no? But it depends on what you're trying to say, I guess. Though I did like how you rhymed "uncontrolled" with "road."

The other thing, is that I think you should put commas after the first line in the stanzas rather than a period.
