Destiny, don't fail me



Dear Destiny,
Why are you failing me?
I'm not growing up to who I am supposed to be.
I don't see the life I am supposed to see.

Am I destined to be a failure?
I'd prefer a comfortable life better.
How much do I have to endure?
Is this the life I was destined for?

Since I was born, I've had a dream.
I want it more than anything.
I always fail, loose self esteem.
Is this the life I'm destined to be living?

I pray one day.
That my destiny will show the way.
No longer will I be lost and in pain.
I don't want my dream wasted down the drain.

Dear Destiny,
Accept my feelings in this letter.
I deserve so much better.
