luck

never tempt fate, 

it'll get you nowhere. 

i've spent hours, 

trying to get rid of my destiny. 

i'm tired of pretending 

that it's not right there,

that my whole life isn't already decided. 

just because i'm lucky up till now

doesn't mean i will be in a couple years. 

i know my fate is already sealed,

deep within a book

where it writes my story,

line by line,

page by page, 

till there isn't enough ink and blood.

but i can't help but think,

that i will keep getting lucky, 

because so far this luck 

has just come to me. 

it's my melody.

    Your every nook and my personality match. 

     

    Hello Summer,

    When you're sad, your hot tears shed
