Destiny
By Alexandria Stuart
Age 17

Where am I headed? What's bound to happen?
What lies in wait for me?
Was it destiny that brought me to this place and time?
Or is this what my future should be?

I can't relive what has already been lived
I cannot turn back the hands of time
But I can make a difference in my life
I know things are going to be fine

But where will I end up? What step will I take? What succeeds the decision I make?
I'm slipping, I'm falling, I can't get up
And time seems as if it's starting to fade

My hopes, my fate, my purpose in life
Are wrapped in a ball of confusion
I'm trapped, locked up, entangled and stuck
In thoughts that fall in diffusion

Yet I know I can pull through, cause I know who holds my hand
And I know that He'll never let go
I'm destined to prosper, I'm bound for success
And this in time will show

I wrote this poem when I was feeling confused about certain aspects of my life.
