I Am Destiny’s Child
When I was a child,
My wounds were deep and long,
They were settled in my heart,
Tied up to my every thought.
Destiny called me,
Many a time,
I didn’t listen, was too busy
Inside my own mind.
I realized from an early age,
That life is not easy
To navigate.
The highs and lows
Hit you just as hard,
Rendering you speechless,
Before you fall apart.
Just as it settles,
It all starts again,
Going round and round
Until the very end.
When I was a child time did go slow,
My tears felt eternal,
Like the ancient tree that grows.
Destiny is a funny thing,
It takes you to places
And reveals new faces,
Inviting you to feel and live,
The synchronicities
Of this mortal maze.
My scars are visible now,
I wear them on my skin so proud,
Because I am still here,
Despite of the pain,
I challenged destiny
To a fateful stay.
Tomorrow is a new day,
And I want to give the best of me,
Wherever I go,
Until my soul fades away.
