Don't lament fate

String, bring

Don't lament fate, a puppet on a string,

A passive player to what fate may bring.

Life's tapestry is woven, thread by thread,

By choices made, not destinies instead.

The stars may glimmer, whisper of a plan,

But free will's compass guides the soul of man.

Though storms may rage and shadows fill the night,

The inner spark can set the future bright.

Don't fret the path unseen, a shrouded maze,

Embrace the unknown, with courage in your gaze.

For in the darkness, hidden treasures lie,

Unveiled by curiosity's searching eye.

Let not misfortune bind you in its hold,

Rise from the ashes, stories yet untold.

For even diamonds, under pressure's might,

Are forged from darkness, bursting into light.

Don't let misfortune's whispers fill your ears,

Defeat's a choice, a river filled with tears.

Within you lies the strength to rise anew,

To mend the broken, and rewrite the view.

Life's not a script, a predetermined play,

Each scene unfolds, by choices made each day.

Embrace the twists and turns, the laughter and the tears,

For lessons learned pave the path for future years.

Don't envy others, their fortune seemingly grand,

For happiness, you see, is built on shifting sand.

True treasures lie within, in spirit and in soul,

A wealth that fate can never take control.

Let not comparison's shadow dim your shine,

Your journey's unique, a purpose intertwined.

Embrace your strengths, the talents you possess,

And forge your path with passion, never less.

Don't cling to failures, burdens of the past,

Learn from missteps, lessons meant to last.

Let go of regrets, that chain you to the ground,

Embrace forgiveness, a higher purpose found.

The past is prologue, a whisper on the breeze,

The future beckons, carried on the seas.

Live in the present, seize the fleeting hour,

With open arms, embrace life's vibrant power.

Don't fear the unknown, the vast and open sky,

Spread your wings and fly, let your spirit rise.

For courage thrives where comfort fades away,

And dreams take flight with each courageous day.

Don't let life pass you by, a spectator in the crowd,

Embrace the journey, sing your voice out loud.

Leave your mark on the world, a legacy to hold,

A story whispered, courage brave and bold.

So forge your destiny, with every choice you make,

Don't lament fate, the future is yours to take.

With heart ablaze and spirit ever strong,

Write your own story, in life's vibrant song.
