Cruel Fates?

You have no control over your actions, and powerless to change the outcome.
You try so vigorously to resist, but it is impossible, for we control your world. We are us, both good, bad, moms who use you for their sleepy young, and dads who use you to freighten there most proud of sons.
We have both killed and given life; we have changed your very being, once or trice.
We who say the red hooded girl went to grandma’s house that day.
We who say 7 little men protected white snow, until we say the snow must fade away.
We who say the dragon is slain, and the brave knight gets the girl.
All of your destinies are written and never changed; You will feel that pain every time we say so and it has always been that way.
The vampire, warewolves, and even the gods who we say are all mighty, yes we control them too.
There birth to there powers, to how they made you, and me, and we, yes this is true.
you are one of us even though it may not seem true.
Your power is ours and yours we are unchanging.
Not effected by each other but, can affect all.
Not in this world but in that, were your life is one way but we want it to be another, say a word or two and you are opposite of what he, or she, or they, or we have made you.
We are not Cruel Fates, just curious and unspoken.
Your life constantly changing and an eternity of confusion fill you with hate; but you cannot tell us for we do not say you do.
You may think of us as deities or powers beyond truth.
But we dont write the stories, we just tell them.
