Fate

Fate

This game you play

Is very dangerous

Like jumping out of a plane

Forgetting your parachute

You act innocent

Like an angel

From above

Pure and fragile

Guess again

Your act only works on a crowd

I’m not part of it

I see you for who you are

Stripping away the mask

That fools everyone else

You start a war

When I’m winning

You retreat 

Finding higher authority

Hiding behind them

Like I’m the one

Who committed treason

Harming one of my own

You didn’t expect me to fight back

When you first attacked

Sorry to disappoint you

I’m not defeated

Just like that

You may have begun this war

Trying to take an advantage over me

Despair will only fall on you

I will finish first

every time

I fight for victory

Never backing down

Think again

Before throwing punches my way

If you choose to anyways

Finish what you started 

You can’t hide

Just because things

Don’t go your way

In the end you will pay

Eventually your body

Will crash to the ground

With nothing there to stop you

But the last feeling

Of branches

Causing you every bit of pain

You inflicted on me

All because you played dangerously

Leaving behind your parachute

Fate claims you

To the mean girl(s) in my past. You know who you are! I always Persevere.
