Poem: Difficult Destiny

Posted byDevin HoggPosted inPoetryTags:

I will never taste a woman’s lips
Never relish in a lover’s embrace
I may be friend and brother
Father and son
Uncle and mentor
But I will never be a lover
I feel this truth
Deep in my bones
I know it is my destiny
I have always known
That I must follow
My own path
I did not know
The burden would be
So hard to bear
Though my heart aches
And tears well in my eyes
I accept my fate
With the knowledge
That it is my purpose

My name is Devin Hogg. I was born and raised in Carnarvon, Ontario, Canada. I moved to Guelph, Ontario, Canada in 2009 for university and lived here ever since. In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching TV and movies, going on long walks, swimming, and practicing Chen style Tai Chi. I love to write poetry and blog regularly about topics such as mental health, sci-fi/fantasy series, faith, sexuality, and politics.
