Stupefied On Destinys Stage

I am but like a reed in the river of life Bent every which way the current decides I care to stand but it is purposed unto me not to be that strong I must heed the forces without and submit to them I pine to cast a greater shadow on these waters I live Put it is purposed to me not to be like a tree How I wish to be different How I wish the outside me reflect the me that I am inside How I wish to make my mark as extraordinary If only I could be informed of the intelligence of my future Then I would aptly decide now how to react But still this life being as it is Today is the only time I can see The rest only in my dreams and at the mercy of fate Playing a stupefied game on the stage of destiny How I wish for the genes within to evolve And redefine me into a spectacularly wondrous tree Holding my all with purpose and pride Unafraid of the winds Unbowed by the currents A marvel for others to see An example for those like me in the future to heed The reed that turned into a tree The dream that defied the structures of reality
