Fate

Long ago and far away,

Like another life I’ve lived,

Distant memories come to mind,

Of times long passed,

Of times gone by.

Lessons taught, but never learned.

Knowledge gained, but all for naught.

Wisdom earned, but far too late.

For nothing trumps, the hand of fate.

I’ve lived, I’ve laughed.

I’ve loved, I’ve lost.

Pleasure and pain,

Joy and sorrow.

So here I am…

At the end of the road….

Beaten and broken…

Sick and alone…

The Cruel Hand of fate has crushed me…

But refuses to let me die…
