Meant to Be

10/28/2021


Written by: Tereza Lysakova


Is this all really meant to be
Is it a chapter of our destiny
Is it just a pure coincidence
Of the time, the place, or the Universe

Are our ways already determined
Are we sometimes really just too blind
To what happens outside of our lives
To what's difficult and what hurts

Is this all really meant to be
The inconceivable becomes reality
The unthinkable becomes a norm
Pleasing the majority to conform

Is it just a poor quirk of fate
Let's hope it's never too late
To change course of this fragile boat
Hoist the sails and let it float

Is this all really meant to be?

Author's note:
This poem might seem quite abstract.
I intended it to be this way and I leave the interpretation to the readers' imagination.
