Amber

Crushed appearances decide
the fate I can not choose.
They chose for the girl by my side,
now they say 'she's bound to lose.'

My feelings overwhelm, out come the tears,
If it's my fate, why is it there's to decide?
Now it's far more than clear, I will be left behind.

The girl chose her fate for herself,
she snatched the knife, and brought it close,
As she moves, enhanced with stealth,
She cries 'Live your life!' and greets her foes.
I silently watch, starved from fear,
and now I know how to claim my fate.
