Into the Fray

"I am the master of my fate",
I just hope that I'm not too late.
The way I've lived like "Dorian Gray",
You wouldn't know me from the fray.

The position that I've taken,
is one I should have forsaken.
That for centuries past it was known,
even the King could be overthrown.

Although today it's just as well,
not having wizards casting a spell.
we do have the ability,
to live a life that's truly free.

Though we are of our own fate masters,
we mainly avoid disasters.
Success is somewhat suggestive,
you don't have to be a detective.

Some say it's the money you make,
others say it's the love that you take.
I say it's the heart that you stake,
for there is only hollow in the fake!
