Fated Feeling
Even chance meetings are the result of karma... Things in life are fated by our previous lives. That even in the smallest events there's no such thing as coincidence.
~Haruki Murakami~
Fated mirror
Brought you near.
Bad luck for seven years.
Life– is more than what appears.
Time to face my fears
And it’s no coincidence I ended up here.
Darkened my days the moment you came
You knew my fears and I saw your pain.
Lessons and shadows bringing only more rain.
Just being myself was a crime and a shame.
Feed me your inhibitions and plight.
Take my will to live and desire to fight.
Permanent cloud cover or perpetual dark knight.
Depleting my existence– distorting all my light.
But I’m alright.
Learned some hard lessons– can’t say I’m healed.
New lense upon the world and a new shield.
Layers of my walls have begun to peel.
As my body relearns what it means to feel.
