Don't tempt Fate, they said.
Stay on the Safe side.
But me – I tempt Fate all the time.
My Destiny is my own.
I think we each create our own Fate.
What does it mean, then
To tempt Fate?
Is it doing something dangerous,
exciting, or new?
Is it changing who you are
or who they think you should be?
Is it bending to the will of others
when you should be standing up tall?
I guess in a way, we're all tempting Fate.
Everything we do
Say
Think
is a threat to our existence.
Every breath we take
is one breath closer to the breathlessness of
Death.
So you can't really tell me
Don't tempt Fate.
Because me – I tempt Fate all the time.
