Indestined

so many times beneath the stars
our lives are lived for fate and scars
infancy seems to abound
from everywhere it screams its sound
too loud to hear the voices true
without a sound, it comes to you
it strikes with force, a fist, a roar!
so strong a warmth you can't ignore
the vision marred by human sense
for now the journey must commence
the trials begin with fervor rise
a gaze glares straight within the eyes
so hard to suffer ends defeat
victories are ever sweet
the sky preludes the next advance
all surety, no happenstance
a place of firm and solid lore
where the light and night I wore
as symbols of forever more
no longer will I toil and chore

Great piece; only hiccups I feel are in line 3 and the last line; "chore" feels a little flat. It fits of course, but it just doesn't feel like a strong ending. I would suggest perhaps changing the wording a bit, to smooth it out and make it stronger. But I really enjoy your style; you have excellent rhymes and phrases throughout :)
