Fate

Haunted by nightmares and visions
De ja vu as plain as the day
It’s fairly obvious where this is going
And I believe it’s fair to say

Either I’m going mad or I’m delusional
I’m supposed to be here that I do know
But I don’t see the plan or the purpose
It’s as if I’m watching a show

And the show must run its full course
But without script this is hard to perform
Improv is not my greatest talent
And dread, not excitement is formed.

There are too many life changing crossroads
Many paths that don’t link into one.
With judgement day drawing closer
I must decide to chance it or run.

But I can’t leave this place for another
For the tale it will begin again
With all the similar problems and confusions
That I’ll conjure to cause me pain.
