CHAOS THEORY

By Ashley Elworthy

I don’t believe in determinism. I think we are all free to make our own choices. But isn’t it much more terrifying, that your actions can alter the future?

When your heart skips a beat, does the universe change its course? Sequences of reality are undone by your own will

Fate unbecomes, and the unknown is altered.

I second guess my choices Fearing that I have strayed too far From what destiny had planned That maybe I was better off in its hands

Maybe it would be easier if everything was set in stone from the start

But the butterfly does not falter its wings, in fear of creating storms it is a proud harbinger of the beauty and destruction that follows
