Analysis of Belonging To The Stars
Life is my game, I play it
Life is my battle, I fight it
Life is my anecdote
Though I do not happen to write it
Some loose threads spun together
Some stars that jointly aligned
It was the day I was blessed with a life
And cursed with a fate so blind
They tell me I am my creator
I make the path I choose
But to win the privelege to choose
So often I must lose
The quill rests in its hands
My destiny so divine
I am a mere puppet
Struggling to break free and shine
My story spins itself
Printing it on pages that'll be lost
I am simply a protagonist
My demise is the only cost
My advent was its dawn
My end marks the twilight setting along
I have been living a life I never owned
But it is where I eternally belong
