Fate

she's got tears in her eyes
even so she tries
to hold her head up high

so she waits around
to be picked up and found
by anyone who'll stand their ground

and she tries to think of fate
as something tangible and great
but she knows that's not her way

and she hates to think that all of the decisions she's been
strong enough to make have all been the wrong ones
and she doesn't want to know that every answer
just leads to more questions

and she can't expect that fate
will make the pain go away
no flowers will spring from this rain

the disappointment in her eyes
could flood the earth and drown the skies
but behind a smile she hides

and she thinks of her life
and she is terrified
of how the next few years will ride

and she could believe in fate
but it wouldn't make anything change

she's got loathe in her eyes
but she tries not to despise
the ones who simply didn't read her right

and she doubts in her mind
that she'll come out of these trials
with anything that's worthwhile (but denial)

and she'd like to think that fate
could justify her shameful state
but she knows it's not that way
