Fate

She went through life with eyes shut to the possibilities.
Keeping her eyes set on the vision of her own reality.
She made her own truth from a life that held no cheer.
Within four walls made of both concrete and fear.

Her truth was her strength through all that came her way.
When Fate came knocking, she stood firm and walked away.
Despite the charm that shone within his handsome form,
Lost of him was not something she would ever mourn.

Seasons pass, and life remained a cage of sorrow and pain.
Fate came knocking once more, her heart he tried to tame.
She turned away once more, her eyes wandering to a distant past.
Remembering all the reasons why this dream would never last.

Time stripped away all her truths, and left her with nothing to hold.
On a late, cold winter night, he came knocking just as it has been foretold.
"I am Fate." He says with a smile that brought fire to her heart.
In his eyes, she saw all the promises that spoke of a brand new start.

The moment is now here, waiting for her to take that first step.
Will she once again turn away, and let life treat her like a hostage kept?
Or will she finally reach out and give Fate the chance to have his say?
The world held still while she made her choice that cold winter day.
