"Fate is an Author" Inspired by Come, Gentle Night:

Fate is an Author

This is not what I signed up for.

This is not what I agreed to.

Fate keeps pushing me

in a direction I do not want.

Every time she intervenes,

a life is on the line –

along with my sanity.

I just want to follow my schedule

and go home to my husband.

I want to be able to help a friend

without becoming entangled

in the messes they keep hidden.

Let the mess stay in the dark

where I don’t have to clean them up.

Let me live my happiness

without questioning ulterior motives.

Let me go a day

without my life being threatened.

If Fate herself is listening,

I have a couple of requests:

please let me never

hear the word murder again,

and please let me always

go home to my husband.
