The destiny
And then again,
We won’t be the same.
Because it’s not meant to be
It’s in the process, pre destined
To not be what it used to be .
We had to go through this,
Everybody does.
But still we all wish
That what if it wasn’t
What if we didn’t go cold?
Is there any answer to this ,
And even if there is
Do we want it to be answered
Or are we okay here?
Belonging nowhere .
Will we get better?
Or learn to be ,
What it was destined for us to be ?
Nothing here has a clear start
So why do we wish to have a clear end ?
It is mere our conscience ,
What we pick at that time .
Everything was always there uncertain and unexplained ,
Because it was never meant to be explained.
