Rolling the Dice

In class today we wrote a poem and had to start from the very beginning and decrease it to the best we possibly could. Here's a little big of how it was done (starting with the final draft).

Final Draft:
Dice
Rolling the dice on your story
Differences; Changes
Reasoning behind everything
Be you; be true
One outcome

4th draft
Dice
Rolling the dice on your story
Differences
Changes
A reason for everything
Be yourself
Believing
Can’t roll the dice
One outcome
There’s a reason

3rd draft
Dice
Rolling the dice on your story
Differences
What could have happened
A reason for everything
Be yourself
Believing
You cant just roll the dice
One outcome
There’s a reason

2nd draft
A dice
Rolling the dice on your story
Differences
What could have happened
Theres a reason for everything
Believing in yourself
You cant just roll the dice
You can’t choose your outcome
A reason behind everything

1st draft A dice. Roll the dice on your story. What could be different? What could have gone wrong? What could have been better? Or different? There’s so many questions on what “could have” happened. But in my beliefs, I believe that everything happens for a reason. You can’t just “roll the dice” on your life story and choose the best of so many options. One thing and one thing only happens in every situation. And it happens that way for a specific reason.
