Is it a matter of destiny or fate?
Is it because the world made it this way?
Is this a consequence I deserve?
If we have old lives, am I paying for lost souls?
Why some people have it great and others don’t
The true mystery of life
Some people say you create your own fate
Is that the same for kids that grow up with aids?
The world is full of injustice
I thought you get what you give
But this feels unreal
Stop giving if you expect to get the same back
It won’t happen like that
Maybe someday we can learn to not expect
Everything and just be grateful for anything
But what do we have to grateful for?
A life we do not own?
That we didn’t ask for?
And we don’t know where it comes from?
