Excellence Award in the 'Dream Big 2013' competition

There is no greater victory,
than beating your own destiny.
We make up our lives ourselves,
what we do, how we act,
we control our own lives
and that's a positive fact!

How can one write the script of our life?
We are not them.
They are not us,
Our life, our actions,
there is no destiny.

Follow your destiny?
It is mutiny...
Destiny is blasphemy,
All it brings is despair.

What more can we expect
from a non-existent object.
There is no such thing as destiny,
we are only deceived by our own stupidity.
