I Don't Have the Time for Destiny

I've never believed in destiny.

No, the stars never whispered my name,

my future

I grabbed my own fate with two hungry hands,

pulling and pushing and molding my life,

leaving smudges and dirty fingerprints all

over a once clean soul.

My mistakes belong entirely to me.

No, the stars never mapped out a path for me

to follow, never planned my downfalls, my

triumphs.

I rule the stars, not the other way around.

I take their dust and inject it into my veins;

I breathe in their light as

I live

I live

I live
