Soon Though it is Written

If I were able to see into your future I would not give you the truth as it would devastate you
Let's assume that the honest truth would cause you hope, even it were brutal
Knowing that you would know when and how it would all come to an end
You could then live your life as you saw fit
Pursuing dangers, not giving one damn about hurting or killing yourself
For your future is written and cannot be altered
Say for instance you weaved on your feet, in and out of oncoming traffic
While your body would be safe you would seal the fates of several others
Then again if this is the course you were to take, then there fates were sealed already
It is written and you cannot change that, though the other end of the pencil houses an eraser
Maybe I'll let you in on your secret fate and then erase it to write a new one
Then you will weave in and out of traffic on a hot summer day wearing bright colored sneakers
And then that truck that you thought would swerve will hit you head on
Blood will splatter on the windshield and on the surface of all the vehicles around
Its too bad though what fate has said is that fate is dead
Keep writing as you go, don't delete with a harsh press of the space bar
Let it go, be inventive just don't get too much red in your ledger
Soon though, soon though, soon though,
That's all you'll ever know.
