Destiny


 

Who am I?

Am I a hero?

Am I a villain?

A star, a role model, a mother?

Who will I be...

When I venture through the darkest of caves 

Will I emerge to see the light?

Who can I be?

When everyone tells me what to do

How can I decide the path to take

To the person I want to be.

In the end I am who I am

Even if I don't know her yet

She waits inside me ready to be released

Ready to guide my hand

She is here

I just need to find her

And once I do

All my questions shall bear an answer.
