Fate

by

Laura Beth Leither

I often wonder about decisions I've made
If they were right or wrong, and the prices I've paid
I believe in fate but sometimes I think
That if I choose the wrong one I just may sink
But how can that be if fate is in control?
It shouldn't matter what I do for it's all in my soul.
My life's predetermined, at least I was taught
That a higher power knows before I have sought
If fate decides the path I follow
My life should just glide on through happiness and sorrow.
But how can that be if I must choose
Between right and wrong, what if I lose?
Will I turn down a whole new road?
Did fate know I'd be carrying this load?
It must have been that fate already knew
I'd need to mess up and start brand new.
Does this make sense or is it all in my head?
Did fate also know sometimes I'd cry in my bed?
From birth someone knew how my life would flow
So now as a teen should I just let myself go?
If I am in control then why do people say
You make your own decisions day after day?
Thsis can not be if fate already chose
The path of my life down to the goodbyes and hellos
I can't even say if I'll ever know
The truth behind this mystery that continues to grow.
