Is there any need to try?
Can we change what's in the stars?
Somethings are just meant to be.
Does predestination rule?
I will remain my own best friend,
Also, my own worst enemy.
I wonder, was I born this way?
Does predestination rule?
Sometimes I feel I'm winning.
Only to lose once again.
Born to lose, that's what I am.
Does predestination rule?
If I could change yesterday,
Things would be so different now.
But, I can't cheat Lady Luck.
My predestination rules!
Author notes
Well, this is what your song says to me. That there is no changing fate. What will be will be.

How true and meaningful this poem is...I enjoyed this read very much. The repetition of the line made the poem effective..excellent write~

The main character in the song made his own fate. He lost the love of his life because he drove her away through mistreatment. Predestined, perhaps, but also his choice. He just didn't realise the consequences.
