Fate

I tried to break away
from my fate
because
not always getting what you want
is the price you have to pay
for having fate at all.

No matter how hard I want it,
I'm never going to be an astronaut
I'll never get that blow job from Paris Hilton
and I'll probably never have that golden Porsche.

I'm like a cripple trying to scale K-2
not willing to accept that my wheels have frozen at the base,
I crawl the next kilometer and freeze.

There is only so many times I can run into the same wall,
getting the same bloody nose,
hoping the next time
the next time
the next time
I'll run right through it.

because that's insanity, man.
