In the Writing

This is my life
it's still in the writing
the next move is unpredictable
 Unlike a fairy tale 
happy endings have yet to be written
this is my life
failure is not an option
 Shinning depends upon my steps
they must be decided as chess
seeing three moves ahead
glimpses of the future is necessary
with eyes focused upon today

even if your life has not seen happy endings, its still your life and no one else, so do keep your focus.
