Ask Yourself

Everyone has a story to tell
Whether it come from heaven or deep down in hell
They aren't always spoken of, you see
That's when to ask yourself, what would you believe?

Is there a fate or do we make our own
Or do Lord and devil truly condone
To what we hear and what we feel
Is all of it really real?

Good triumphs and wicked deceits
It's as if history actually repeats
Are there angels, and those who chose to fall
Or are you asking yourself, do you believe at all?

Now we sit and ponder about heaven and hell
Yet still, don't you have your own story to tell?

I like your sonnet...how the title is resolved by the couplet.
