    A Change in Destiny

     Alone, I have walked this journey
    Purposely to find my power
    It was decided before I began

    Paving the path of loneliness
    So not to affect another
    Embracing battles, solitary wins

    I laid the bricks that confine me
    Believing in my own falsehood
    Building a life I thought was triumphant

    Change and growth inhibit me now
    A clear vision of my future
    A need to transform before I begin

    Empty soul; a wilted flower
    Vulnerability hidden
    Sowing the seed where depression lies deep

    Who am I now?  Where did I go?
    There is so much to discover
    Brick by brick breakdown to realization

    Digging deep, plowing and planting
    Irrigating a different garden
    There is a budding flower within me

    Ready to find love of thy self
    And fulfill those dreams that I lost
    Extreme enough to run, hard and steady

    A new destiny awaits

    A nice write, enjoyed that, nice to read others words on the topic of destiny. Many before and after us will think these same thoughts, thats amazing ... the more we think we are different- the more we are the same. Be well k

    "Ready to find love of thy self And fulfill those dreams that I lost Extreme enough to run, hard and steady A new destiny awaits" This is a piece that we could all relate in some kind of way. The imagery is familiar and easy to understand. You managed to craft a great piece! Thanks for sharing :))

    I am reminded of the cycle of life, for ever changing, for ever renewing.

    always change...where would we be without it! Thank you for reading and commenting.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
