destiny...

this is destiny.
not a map scribbled down on paper
but a plan, engraved in my hands and mind
a piece of life set aside for me to stumble upon eventually
or be thrown in my face
destiny.
its my destiny to make this girl happy
to change the lives of everyone
to be the spark in the dark, that sets your candle aflame
to create emotions with words and music
to compose melodies with my fingers
and inspiration with my pen
this is not god given, but earned
not easily assertained but strived for til the breaking point
"soon we will all see as one,
and we will all cry out as one,
desperately seeking the same salvation,
praying to the same God, believing
under the stars this all seems so hopeful"
this is me,
this is what i choose to be
not what i am told
this is me taking life instead of death
filling the void with what i am most afraid of
taking the leap into the water, begging for the shore
to go down fighting would be glorious
but to rise victorious, would be so much more
nothing can take what i say from me
this is my plan engraved in my chest
and no one, not a man, not a god, nothing
can take this away, it is my heart
pushing hope through me with every beat
this is becoming everything i've ever dreamed about
with no regrets
this... this is destiny
