BETRAYED BY FATE

Hello guys, @pasaift here.
Decided doing poetry today, its a sad one. Writing the thoughts of a woman who has experienced life. Inspiration is from what I see and hear on a daily basis. Do enjoy.

I have never been the type to believe in fate
Or the type to think that there’s some sort of power
A supernatural power that gets to control my life
Like a pond in a chess board

I have never been the type to believe people get what they deserved.
Never believed that being good paid off
Never really believed that helping would get a person anywhere.

You could say I’m a realist
Or maybe I just perceive the world based on past experiences
You can judge me however you like
But my beliefs are mine

For if there was someone controlling our fates
And people always got what they deserved
And doing good always paid off,
Then why is my life so twisted

I watched as my parents ran off with their lovers
Leaving their seven year old child
To fend for herself.
I watched myself been carried off by the traffickers
And sold to the highest bidder

I watched as my owners beat me to death’s gate
And give me out to men to stock their banks
I watched as my babies were sold off
Because they couldn’t afford to feed another mouth

And with all of this,
My masters got richer and even attracted the attention of the Monarch
Finally, at age eighteen
I was giving in marriage to a sixty year old
Because of a contract

So, if there is a being controlling fates
Then, what wrong did I do to be betrayed by mine
Why has there never been a happy day for me
No matter how obedient I was
Or how good I behaved towards my masters

But I shall no longer leave my fates to the gods
I shall no longer be dependent on an old man
I shall no longer be raped along with my young daughters
I shall betray the fates who betrayed me first

I will start by sending him to his grave
And come for my masters
My lost children too I must find
Before I silence the masters forever...
