The Puzzle of Fate

When fate insists, I can’t help but listen

Maybe everything is meaningless

But I would like to believe

That the universe has a plan

So, I would let it play its tricks

The strings of fate

Invisible and frayed

I wish I could make sense of it all

I don’t know whether I should write

To escape my fate or to meet it

Or to make my peace with it

I am sleepy and my head hurts

But I keep staring at the blank screen

And I wonder about fate

Because reality bores me

The monotony of life gets to me

I have always loved escaping reality

Books, movies, music

And now, writing

I think it’s a bit embarrassing

Being so stubborn

With my handful of daydreams

But, they are all I have

They help me get through my dull days

What does fate have in store for me?

Finally, some happiness or even more pain?

Will I laugh or weep?

Fate annoys me a little bit

I wish it didn’t hide from me most of the time

I wish it would give me the answers I need

My headache is getting worse

But I am trying to solve the puzzle of fate

What do the stars say?

I don’t know, I am not even looking at the sky

I think I will let fate be

It’s slow, but it’s on to something

It’s unpredictable and tiring to think about

All I can do is hope

That fate has some happiness in store for me

Fate, please, be kind to me.
