It's time to go I guess
Cuz everyone's leaving
Spread across the globe
It's like we're all fleeting
Running away from our destined fate
But doesn't everyone know that it's far too late?
Whatever the universe has planned for us is going to happen
You can't run
You can't hide
You can't beg
You can't strive
You might as well just give in
Cuz you and I know the universe will win

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

Thanks for the comment! I personally believe in chance, not fate, but I really like how you presented it :) especially the line "it's like we're all fleeting"

&quot;I feel that a hero is somebody who will stand up for their values and what they believe in and that can take any form. People that have values and have thought them through rather than those who just do what they&rsquo;re told.&quot;-Skandar Keynes<br /> <br /> &quot;When it&rsquo;

Well, I don't believe the "universe", I believe in God, but this is an amazing poem. :) It's really amazing! Great job!
