Destiny is a Funny Thing

The Chase

Destiny is a funny thing
It can lead you astray
In the name of its pursuit
Or it can liberate you
Freeing you of assumption

Fate can be consuming
An exhausting ambition
Latching onto your design
An internal pestering
To never surrender your desire

The future is deceptive
Whether sealed or unwritten
There is no known outcome
Only the expectation of truth
An unfolding of consequence

Inspired by Avatar: The Last Airbender. “Destiny is a funny thing” is a quote from the character Iroh.
