Destiny Or Choices

On that day, 
When life took its first breath,
Was destiny formed?
Was life responsible, 
For its own choices?
Or numbered by the days,
On which life lived
Did age grow,
With her own conscience?
When lifestyle and choices,
Came into play,
When roads and pathways
Were ventured,
Mistakes and consequences,
Inevitable,
Do mistakes happen
When life takes hold of freedom,
Or life blame life
For every problem!
Wasn’t me! Life would say! 
Not me surely,
Must be the act of God! 
He’s the one to blame not me,
Does life detract,
From every responsibility?
Or admit that perhaps the choices 
That life made were wrong, 
Who does life smite
When things go wrong?
Life smite’s itself,
Hold up its hands,
And say’s “I did that,
Choices that I made were my own”
When life comes to an end,
And looks back,
What does destiny see?
It only sees
CHOICES!
