Destiny

by Venkatesh - Aquarius

Destiny ? What  is  Destiny ? 
One  question , 
And  one  answer , 
But  such  a  difficult  one , 

Who  holds  the  key ? 
To  unlock  this  mystery , 
What  happens  after ? 
Fulfilling  our  destiny , 

All  strange  questions , 
Bewildering  people's  minds ,
Giving  crazy  answers , 

Answers  that  can  be , 
Either  true ,
Or  false , 
How  should  we  know ? 

Is  your  destiny , 
Within  your  eyes ? 
From  the  moment  of  birth ? 
Or  achieved  later ? 

Is  there  an  answer ? 
To  these  puzzling  questions , 
How  far  do  we  look ? 

Being  young , 
I  cannot  place  a  lid , 
On  my  anxiety , 
And  never  ending  curiosities , 

What  will  transpire ? 
On  my  path  to  destiny , 
This  is  my  fear , 
My  curiosity , 
And  should  be  yours .    

Reason for writing:

    Well  I  usually  think  too  much . I  wrote  this  poem  when  i  was  in  India  , just  this  year  in  August . I  was  sitting  in  the  balcony  and  just  wondered  what  my  future  will  be  like  then and  there . Of  course  i  thought  about  my  future  before  I  was  in  India  but  I  never  had  the  poetic  language  to  express  what  i  was  feeling  until  i  was  there . After  coming  back  from  India  to  Ireland  so  many  things  have  altered  my  mind  and  i  think  about  so  many  people  that  I  miss . I  just  wondered  what  my  position  would  be  like  in  another  three  years  as  i  am  only  18 . I  still  have  to  go  to  third  level  in  January . Among  this  other  worries . So  I  cannot  really  go  to  bed  without  thinking  and  worrying  to  much  for  about  one  hour . I  don't  know  if  this  is  good  or  bad  being  so  much  aware  and  thinking too  much . For  me  it  has  helped  me  change  myself . So  really  this  poem  is  about me  wondering  what  my  future  will  be  like . Not  just  for  me  but  I  am  sure  that  many  young  people  out  there  feel  the same  as  well . So  anyway  if  anyone  feels  my way  , please  reply . I  would  love  to  know  what   your  views  are  on  this  delicate  matter .
