Confronting My Destiny

My destiny, fiercely,
I confronted the other day,
Complaining about the many obstacles
She has placed on my path,
Plus
For all the calamities and pains
That she has so, mercilessly, inflicted
Upon me.

She heard my protests with disdain,
But with them, she didn't agree, then
Angrily she retorted,
That the blame should not be put on her, but
Rather upon me,
Since ONCE she had heard me to
Exclaim:
"How beautiful life, in reality,
CAN BE!"
