Fate

by J. Robbins - Pisces

My name is Fate
some say you can change me 
others wish they could
I have bad news for that optimistic few
there's nothing you can do
My name is Fate
I run your life from birth until death
you are but pawns on my chessboard
just when life is going your way
Checkmate
My name is fate
I can take you from heaven
to a place worse than hell
a place where hopes, ambitions, loves
all vanish right before your eyes
and I laugh in your face and fill you with hate
ha ha my name is fate
hatred of dreams 
because you'll see them vanish too
all of them
some take their lives to escape me
some just try again
no matter i'll just fuck them some more
you're all my whores
My name is fate
some get lucky
they die young
never to see the pain that's to come
they're no fun
most stick around until they're 70 or 80
I put them in their graves after I drive them crazy
My name is fate
Is there no hope
there is for a few
their dreams come true
not many and probably not you
I'll crush your dreams and make you hate
sorry friend, my name is fate.

Reason for writing:

    everything from an asshole stepfather, to a mistake of a first marriage, to watching the love of my life walk out of my second. I'll tell you, if it wasn't for my 3 perfect children I probably wouldn't be here right now.
