Fate

The world collapses

Hopes and dreams built,

shatter.

Expectations and outcomes,

mismatch.

The need and deed,

overlap.

The steady feet
Soon falters.
Staggering steps,
Fail.
Trial and sweat,
Conquer,
Still leaving the insides,
Pale.

Momentary decisions,
Regretted.
Shallow actions,
Unveiled.

Years of regret,
Burdened.
Adds to the latest fate.
