Destiny

You are the writer of your own future...

A funny way of reasoning our faults
Is to blame it on a thing called fate
We also like to call it our destiny
To console our grief and sorrowed-state
"It was always written by god"
We chant when things go wrong
Because fate is something always planned
And future has been written for long
And this had been my belief for some time
Until I was laughed upon and told
Your actions and your doings determine
The brightness of the life you hold
We are the writers of our destiny
We are the ones who plan our fate
And to write the story is equal to
Choosing between hell and heaven's gate
So write a story , a Pulitzer one
That shows a meaning, and a path to see
For then the world shall know by:
"The one who wrote her destiny."

Constructive criticism is always appreciated!

this is a really fascinating read, i am a culprit of "double-thought", whilst i completely believe in fate and a destined ultimatum we will eventually find ourselves at whatever means it takes to get there, i also truly believe we are the creators of our own destiny and we can change our paths
when reading this, i felt those two ideas come together and work alongside each other; each of us have a destiny and what we do now is writing that future
a really incredible piece of writing

Theres lot of truth to this. Many people truly blame their actions on another source. We usually bring things upon ourselves.
