Aphiwe Sikobi Poet Free verse

Destiny

I have spent 1460 days chasing you 
When u play that hide and seek game, I start to panic as you forget I'm turning grey 

You told me before 
The desires we have contradict 
And I chose to ignore 
The seeds I needed for defeat 

Now I'm here once again 
Introducing myself like im insane 
As you already know my name 
Is it bound that things will be the same? 

Is it wrong that I long to finally touch you by my rough and swollen hands ? 
That have been twisted that every time I'm an inch close my mind bends 

Is it because you have a class or standard that i dont meet 
The mere fact that you are too difficult to greet 
Or I am too damaged to even be considered and fixed 

I'm talking to you Destiny 
Are you even listening?if so..... 
How long does one have to run and finish the race? 
I'm tired of running I really need to see your face
