What's My Purpose?
As I stand there watching
The sun rise in the sky,
I think about how it's like
The cycle of Life and Death.

At the beginning, life first shines in--
And the darkness comes when you die.
In between are high points and low--
Sickness and health.

But as the sun fades from view
And I go to my sheets,
"What is my purpose?",
I moan.

The same thing happens
Week after week.
Working like a well-oiled machine
With no will of my own.

I wake up in the morning
And I raise my weary head.
I trod to work again,
Doing the same old thing.

As I work, I ask myself,
"How do I get ahead?"
Because no matter what I seem to do,
I can't get off of this swing
That we call life.

I'm stuck in a rut,
Going nowhere,
Feeling useless,
Wondering why I keep
Going when there's nothing left to live for.
But I then look at the happiness
I bring to my friends and family.

And I realize I do have a purpose,
I do have a reason to go on and do more.
And that purpose?
To just be ME.
