Destiny

Oct 6

One can use me
for writing a poem, a story,
a condolence letter
pent up feelings
or even a love letter,
an artist can showcase me
by drawing or painting
a beautiful scenery
gods or demons
or maps of imagination
as he or she wishes...

I can't forbid anybody
from doing any damn thing,
they can make me
a holy scripture
a daily newspaper
or even a waste paper
and throw me out
unceremoniously...

When I'm born,
I have also expectations
but what turns out
is sheer my destiny
that is in the hands of others,
I also wish
someone could adore me,
rest head on my chest
kiss me,
give me a warm hug
and worship me in spirit...

But I can only wish,
fortunate are those
who write their own destiny...
