Destiny's Deceit


Through never-ending steel blue skies

And twirled in a ribbon of fate

A lullaby sings out to the world

One that beckons me as I run under these boundless stars

All my life takes flight before me as fate speeds behind me

Every unfortunate event, every desolate sky

That grows heavier and heavier

As my body and mind become ever weary

For ever burden was an untold story

Becoming a weight of anxiety I forged for myself

But destiny calls ever louder,

Her voice like needles, sticking in the back of my neck

As her lullaby rings, calling me to my fate

A sweet melody tempting me into her seemingly warm gaze

And as inevitable as fate, her tune tricked me as I fell into her darkness

Wrapped in black, her melody rings

Dragging my mind into a blur of memories and emotions

But just as death can be cheated, as can destiny

Breaking away from her darkness, and escaping this siren

Following the stars, as they aid my escape

Destiny's lullaby forever ringing in my ears

Even under the stars, crying myself to sleep

Her voice will always echo through my mind
