RISING ABOVE FATE

(Composed: 21:53 PM 03/29/2025)

Let the world be cold – I need no care,

Let my heart endure the silent despair.

I may not choose where life began,

But pen in hand – I carve my plan.

Cast aside by a cruel life stream,

Laughed at, judged in every dream.

Leave it behind – the stares, the scorn,

Alone I stride, through paths forlorn.

I’ll shatter the walls, and sing out loud,

Though pain may rain in a thunderous cloud.

This fate is mine – I hold the key,

Though hearts are locked, I will break free.

Red blood flows, ‘neath a silent moon,

No dreams I chase beneath the gloom.

Winds may howl through nights that ache,

Still I smile – no soul to break.

Head held high through storm and flame,

Born this way – I play no blame.

My fate held firm in steady hand,

Though thorns may line the path I stand.

I’ll shatter the walls, and sing with might,

Forge my way through endless night.

This fate is mine – I claim my song,

And march ahead, fierce, proud, and strong.
