The Spin Of Fate: Dreams Lost And Reclaimed

My dreams confide in echoes of aspirations 

My free will declares them in echoes of hope

On wings of desire, they soar and sway

Until fate whispers one day...

Then tales unfold

About mysteries untold 

In my dream garden, I worked so hard

But fate crushed my hopes, leaving me scarred

Yet through the darkness, hope's light beamed

From shattered dreams, new dreams gleamed

In this episode, 

I journeyed to the capital city 

With flames of ambition blazing bright

To bring the honour home

Though flawlessly I performed, the spin wheel commanded 

In the final round, it spun against me

All because of a riddle I couldn't solve,

A twist of chance, a cruel, fateful toss

In its whimsical game, my victory was lost

But this poem mended my wounded spirit 

Reclaimed my lost victory, my unfulfilled dream

And now I stand here proud, 

Debuting my first poem aloud

In the dreams of a younger me, 

A poet and author I yearned to be

Now yet within this lost victory, chance has woven a tale to tell

An episode shaped by fate, where dreams and destiny dwell

In life's wild ride, many faces share this plight,

Dreams dashed by rejections, be it college or job's light.

Yet destiny's hand guides, towards grander schemes it seems,

Pushing us towards the path where our truest dreams gleam.

Dear audience, our flight's just begun

In the best place, we'll eventually land,

Even if some dreams slip through our hand
