Fate
The waves crash onto the jagged rocks as
I ponder into the past that no longer is.
The past that had meaning. The past that
drifted away from me and left me in the darkness.
Now here, is the present that leaves me
nothing but gashes and bruises on my bare skin.
The present that seems to leave me in the
blistering cold to fend for myself, while the past gets fainter and fainter.
The present that leaves me staring up at
the heavy drops that fall on my grim face.
Having me run for shelter that has long been demolished.
Now nearing is the future. But never can
I truely know what the future brings. If it
will bring me the life that has long
drifted from my present. The life that meant everything to me.
Or will it bring darkness. Bring misery that
pours on me until I'm drowned. Or will it leave me
to freeze and force me to savage fro myself.
And leave me with scares from the past.
I will truely never know. For all i know, this
is the future for me. As I watch as the waves
break like crystals onto the surface.

I wrote this poem because i often look back at the past and see how much my life has really changed. Not just me, but also the people around me. How people in my life have came and gone, the ones that i truely cared about the most. And i honestly think that they past had more to offer to me than my presesnt and what may become my future, but like i said in my poem, I will truely never know what the futrue brings and I think that, that speaks for many.
