Destiny

Destiny 
A comforting word 
To hide the pain 
Of the dreams 
Snatched from 
My palms 
I stood
Helplessly 
But it gave wings 
To my heart 
To dream again 
It drives my mind 
Like a machine 
I've left behind my past 
As it held me back 
I'm chasing a new dream 
To build a new life

Pressures And Deadlines

This is an old handwritten poem salvaged by my mother today. I am hoping to find countless old poems written on paper.
