i've never believed in destiny.

     no, the stars never whispered my name, my
     future.

     i grabbed my own fate with two hungry hands,
     pulling and pushing and molding my life, leaving
     smudges and dirty fingerprints all over a once
     clean soul. my mistakes belong entirely to me.

     no, the stars never mapped out a path for me to
     follow, never planned my downfalls, my triumphs.

     i rule the stars, not the other way around. i take
     their dust and inject it in my veins; i breathe in
     their light as

     i live,

  i live,

   i live.
