fate

I dressed up like an old gypsy woman,
and set out the crystal ball,
in front of the mirror.
And I said to myself,
"I see only darkness in your future young man.
every action will end in failure,
everything you want will be beyond your reach"
And I said,
"You must be reading someone else's fortune
I am smart and resourceful and even a little handsome"
And I replied
"These are all true,
but your heart will never believe it.
It will be your own hands and lips that will betray you,
like dumping seeds onto the fire."
I laughed at myself
"You are crazy, old hag"
"Yes I am." I replied
