Destiny

Like a pony with blinders on trying to learn to go straight

All while life keeps pulling you in a direction

 that you dare not go in

Happiness eludes you sometimes when you

think you deserve it

Yet it is there when you least expect it to be

and when you appreciate it the least

Coming to an understanding of self when it is

almost too late to pursue your dreams

Yet, persistence is ever present

Leaving pain behind for a brighter future filled

with achievements

Sharing it with no one who has time to

appreciate your past hurdles or snags

Exhaustion takes over in place of celebration

when you reach your destination

Finally waking up to accept your place in
