Fate

Before
Taking away
Your own
Breath
Look
For some 
Blank 
Papers
Any kind
You may 
Find

Write 
A poem
Write 
As much
As you can
Do not judge
What you wrote
Just
Flood the paper

First 
Start
By
Writing
About
What you
Hate
What 
Despise you
What 
Irritate you
Write all 
Your hate
All your
Fears

Then 
Take a deep
Breath
Put your 
Pen
Two inches away
From 
The papers
Twist
Your neck
Twice
take
A another deep
Breath
Take back
Your pen
And write 
Down
What you
Like
Write 
As much 
As you can

Now
Cancel out
10 line of 
What you 
Hate
With
One
Of what
You like
The remainder
Is your fate
