Tempted by fate, my destiny awaits

All of my hopes are in need of upgrades

I don’t have to try, the defiance comes

Naturally, l’m toast and it my crumbs

I find myself resisting the resistance

As it doesn’t serve me or my existence

The thing that is tempting is success

It taunts and ridicules to such excess

Aspirations far outweighing my talent

To dream becomes an act so violent

No short term urges, this I want to pursue

In desperate need of some follow-through

Like all temptation, it’s unwise, victory

Is enticing but will never cure my misery
