Come with me to the old country and together we will find the lives we've forgotten. You can live them twice by paying the unkown price, each one, never being the same as before. 

The key to your debt is to have something Beautiful Life wants:

Looks that can kill, a heart of gold, or wisdom beyond your years.

Life is always looking for the rarest of qualities that make one pure, for they are special and help shape things such as your luck. 

She takes pleasure in watching you try to write your wrongs or just change your path with a fresh new outlook that sadly results the way it was the first time. Until you realize there are no changes that can be made, no new path, and no secret new ending.  

She's twisted like that. 

You then find out it has all already been decided before and after you. Everything and all that dwells within was all decided before time.

You are not significant, there is nothing special about you other than that one singular thought that you are special. 

Tell me what is yours that we did not give you? 

Not even your rebellion is your own. 

So morn your doomed future, and haunt your destiny.

Pretend you are special and show us what it's like to play God.

You seem to portray life as a god. And all the impossibilites to change if we try to 'play God' ourselves as you say.

The answer is to pray to the real God who is the only one who can help us right any wrongs or change paths, and forgive us and anyway make us ready for the better life he has prepared for those who love him and receive salvation procured by and in his Son. Rhiannon

Well I appreciate your input always and thank you for the time it took to write your review, but I think you missed my point. Faith and "God" are not the question in this thought provoking poem but the question of Free Will is. 

While I am not disrespecting your beliefs as they are your right and a part of you-they are not the focus in this poem. "God" whether it be your "god" or the "god" or playing a "god" is not the gravity holding this poem together. This isn't about your faith this is about YOU.

Your choice of free will and the journey that you take in this life is the main focus in this picture. Are you really the captian of your destiny? Is each choice you make really your choice? Is the choice even significant? Even if end up in the same place no matter the choice or the situation? Who can really know? I'm not saying your "god" doesnt help right your wrongs or forgive you or give you salvation for the sins you commit. I'm simply asking if those sins are really your own or are they ones that were given to you before time when your fate and destiny was being decided for you right at the moment you became a thought in the Creator's future plans for life. 

If we all have purpose and were given a gift as some believe do we really have the free will to choose differently for ourselves in this life we are to live? Or are we simply playing the role and reading the lines we have been given without even realizing it? I guess we only find out at the end after we break on through to the other side.

I apprecaite the input, no interpretation is wrong.
