This Is Fate

18+ Fate must be faced, a dark poem about sad choices, leading the way here.

-This Is Fate-
by Keaton Foster


Thy trigger
My finger
This head
Soon
I’ll be dead
I won’t
I just can’t miss
This
And nothing else
Is fate
I’m in control
I know it
I always have
I was meant
For this
And nothing else
Greater the pain
Lesser
The shame
Fear
What little there is
Is with regard
To somehow missing
But as such range
Missing
Would be
Damn near impossible
This is fate
This is the way
The destination
Of the path
That I’m upon
I’ve walked
All that I can
I’m so tired
Not another step
I just can’t make it
I just won’t
Dare take it
The barrel flush
Against my temple
What a rush
With ease
I begin to squeeze
This is fate
Repetitively I say
I’m not afraid
Relief fills my chest
Ease calms my heart
My mind
Both tragic and kind
Shuts off
Not another thought
This is no mistake
I have long since
Been meant for this
There will be a bang
But of course
I’ll never hear it
Where I stand
Is where it all ends
This is fate
I’ve always know it
Understood it…
