Cursed Blessing

I, with one that sees all

that lays ahead.

To twist, change and manipulate

the paths that I can take.

For a better future,

I always said.

Tired from all the lies,

in front of my 2 blind eyes.

Well, not anymore!

I uncovered them all.

But fate laughs instead.

A step ahead of me, it said.

Now I quiver as from

hero to spectator,

witness this unfortunate vision,

tied from chains of helplessness.

It was all a deceptive lie,

not to them but I.

Expunge away such power

for it holds of foreknowledge

that's indomitable and

rips away all hope and ambition.

It clings onto me, unfortunately.

To be lied or

to know the truth

I'm in a quandary too
