Take the chance,
Don't look back now.
Your fate is sealed,
Forevermore,
In this destiny
You have chosen for yourself.

Don't look back now,
Your fate is sealed.
It is done now.

Let the realization sink,
Deep into your veins.
Let it take you
To new places,
To new heights.

Don't look back now,
Your fate is sealed;
This is what you are now.
It is done.

The author's comments:
I wrote this poem after reading Veronica Roth's "Divergent," and the choosing of the different factions of the characters in that book/series. The picture symbolizes being happy with who you are, and whom you may become; just like Beatrice in "Divergent."
