I burned maps to keep you lost in my eyes.
but you made a compass.
I blinded you hoping you would never think I was less than beautiful
but you found glasses.
I forced myself to go deaf
so i could run away from fate.
but fate started yelling
and fate got in my head.
fate wasn't silent, it was loud.
I knew you weren't meant to stay for long.
but what was i left to do
I saw you in a bright future in which I didn't belong.
but I've seen people cheat death
and if i yell louder than fate
maybe there's a chance that id be the one to make you lose your breath
I had a dream once with Destiny.
She told me I couldn't help you lose your breath
because you haven't been breathing at all.
She explained to me that you needed air
and I needed to slide back into my shoes
and stop being fooled by a ruse.
That I created by breathing too close to the mirror
making it hard to see past the fog.
I smashed all the watches I could find
thinking maybe all i needed was a little more time.
but fate brought you a sun dial.
Fate was the parachute in a falling plane ,
and I was the angry ocean reaching so high
just to taste the fabric of your pants
A poem inspired by the idea of people outrunning fate
