When Fate came calling

I tried,
all my life and ran
to keep up pace,
with an ever changing world
of expectations.

I stopped,
tired.
broken.
charred,
with ashes
from the remains,
of wishes unfulfilled,
of dreams turned down,
of ambitions floundered..

And then,
when all doors
caved inwards,
choking life's existence,
came a knock at the door.
I opened to see,
there,
stood my destiny.

The sun shone brighter,
The day seemed right,
All's well with the world,
Fate has finally smiled..
