This Was My Fate Poem by Edwina Reizer

Fate stepped in and saw me sad
and decided to change my lot.
It said you shall not die yet
and this is what I got.
A chance to write and have my say
and come alive again.
Never did I question the reason why?
I just picked up the pen.

And as the words accumulated
the sadness drained away.
It took a while as all things do
but I wrote on every day.
I felt a lightness in my heart
and left my sorrow behind.
I still feel the need to pen a verse
and quiet down my mind.

Try as I might to challenge fate,
I cannot do this thing.
For what could replace all the words
that make my heart to sing?
The poem has become who I am
and the phrases one by one
continuously feed my soul now
and the sadness is finally done.
