Do you really have a say

when the universe is at play?

Surely,

you work hard

but will you succeed,

do you know from the start?

 

You think you are doing

everything as per your wish

but some times, you have to leave

or have to adopt complete novelty.

 

Of course, you won’t receive

any good or bad outcomes

if you just keep waiting

for your fate to deliver results

without putting in sincere efforts.

 

Yet, sometimes I feel, 

and it is hard not to believe,

that everything is predetermined

and we are playing our roles

as we don’t have a choice

even if we feel otherwise.
