Poetry 'Dear Destiny' letter poem

[HaematicFlower]

I just finished up a poem for a scholarship yesterday and it was write a letter to someone or something and i have the urge to share it with other people and so... here we go! feedback is always welcome


Dear Destiny,

I see too clearly
that you are
a rigid string unwilling to bend
for, or to, others. Your plans are
obscure,
complicated,
questionable, and always
unpredictable.

I see too clearly
that doom rests in your palm
and you wear fortune
around your fingers. Your judgment
was inescapable when we met.

I see too clearly
that your anger grips tightly,
runs thick as sap under tough skin.
It sounds the loudest in your voice
under stress, pronounced
by the break in your breath.

I see too clearly
the freckles that scatter across your nose,
the way your curls lay dead, a crown
of frizz and heat abuse
trying to tame the thing that makes you so
different.

I see too clearly
when you linger by the mirror,
arms snaked around your own waist
squeezing tight as if
it was that easy to change
yourself.

I see
too clearly.

Yours truly,
Destiny
