Never be responsible for someone else's sadness.

They say we control our own fate
They lied
So many are doomed to a life they didn't ask for
Strive for
Or deserve
My life is in the hands of human ignorance
And negligence
One mistake
And it's over

The author's comments:
The words came to me after an encounter with the thoughtless people in control of my medical records, but it can really relate to anything or anyone. Oh and my poems appear on multiple websites so if you see this somewhere else (Hello Poetry, Deviant Art) it's mine.
