Accidental

I came upon it quite by accident.
I think it was something I was not meant to see.
But now that I've discovered the mystery,
maybe it was already destined to be.

A name is not something we choose,
it is something given by our parents.
Accidental? I would not call it.
Rather, divine providence.

A wrong turn might be accidental,
at least it may seem that way.
But few accidents in this world do occur,
on any given day.

I talk and it seems like you don't listen,
yet you can repeat my words back to me.
Sometimes I don't know why I bother,
when things don't turn out perfectly.

They say it takes two to tango,
but I like flying solo better.
Independent I've always been,
I'm not sure how this has occurred.

Accidental is a funny word,
kids use it to say "I'm sorry".
Sometimes sorry won't cut it.
Even if you feel badly.

I came upon it quite by accident,
I could not explain to you how.
Maybe, just maybe it was meant to be.
I think I'll hold on to it, at least for now.
