They Say

They say each life has
a star they were born under.
A star that shapes our destiny
from the cradle to the grave.

They say that we
are born again to amend
the mistakes we made in life
and finish what we left undone.

They say that we
are lucky or unlucky
and that we should think positive
to turn our fortunes round.

However, we stand at a crossroad
wondering what to believe.
Hesitating at vital moments
missing the chances, we are given.

Best we leave theories alone
and do what we believe.
Believing in what we do
is the way we will succeed.
