Do you believe in fate/destiny?

Sometimes I feel like my moves are preset.

Like, am I doing something that I will regret?

Simon Says, now move to your right.

This has caused many a sleepless night.

I don’t know. And maybe I’m wrong. 

It’s like singing a verse, 

Before they play your song.

Maybe not a good example in this particular instance.

I wonder is it fate, or just coincidence? 

Am I making my own choices, or are they already made? 

Building my own dreams, or are stones already laid?

I’m at my wits end. I’m at a loss.

Am I the one in charge, or do I have a boss?

These are my thoughts that at night take ahold.

With no life answers forthcoming, I must watch it unfold.

Is it predestined or do I have a choice?

Am I speaking the words but not in my voice?

So if you have any answers please share them with me.

Just get me out of my head.. with my crazy thoughts on destiny!
