Destiny?
January 21, 2010
I
look back on what I was
and
I
year for it because
I'm
Just an echo of me
now
Just a sketch of
What I want to be
So I
close my eyes and pretend
that
I'm stepping up to bat
and
I see the ball
And I'm
hopin' that I won't let it fall
And then I
recognize
that
through my eyes
I'll
Never get to see that ball
when it doesn't
fall
And so I
ask the question
Can fate deal with an
intervention
Can I
make a change
In what was written
before we came?
Can I change my destiny?
Can I re-mold
me?
