Children's Story Contest

I'm the gingerbread man, never say can't, it's always "I can". I so wanted to always be ahead, but fate lay waiting, as on I tread. Stereotypes mean you know I fail, it's written in every children's tale. Life lessons seem to pass me by, so clever until I meet a fox that's sly. I envy the snowman, but it's still mapped out, his end is known, there is no doubt. Predetermined lives unfold, neither of us live to be very old. I wish to campaign for a fresh start, no destiny there to break your heart. The chance to be unique, I have a lot to give, just accept who I am and let me live.
