Formula of Life

Adding all the fractions in my head,
Multiplying wonder by regret,
Cheating on my dreams as they arrive,
I have got my formula of life.

I have messed the figures up a bit,
Searching for the truth in self-deceit,
Slightly unaware what they meant;
If they still don't match, it's not the end!

While capricious fortune is astray,
I will make the best of new today.
Think you hold the key to reach my heart?
I have changed the lock, it's just that smart.
