I wrote this a long time ago. Feel free to criticize it.
The Meaning of Life
There are times in my life when i feel very scared
Sometimes i don’t know if i’m going to make it
Sometimes i don’t know if i’m going to do it right
But there are those times when you feel invincible
As if you could take on the whole world
And say, “is that all you can give me?”
But those times are short lived for people like me
Who worry about their future
Who worry about their lives
Many times i have asked myself
“What is the Meaning of Life?”
Many times i have answered myself
“I have no idea.”
Do people truly have the answer?
Do people ask the same questions as I?
Perhaps they do in the passing
Of their own lives and problems
But I feel alone as if there were no one else
No one to hold me to comfort me
I have many friends who help me
But what can i do for them?
What can i offer them?
Many times i have asked myself
“What is the Meaning of Life?”
Many times i have answered myself
“I have no idea.”
Throughout my life i have encountered many obstacles
Some overcome some not
Obstacles which are now behind me laid to rest
I have thought about the short life that i have led
And wondered to myself exactly why
Do i live the way that i do
Perhaps I will never know why but i do know
How i should live it
For it is my life and nobody elses
Many times i have asked myself
“What is the Meaning of Life?”
And one time i have answered myself
“It is now what nor why, but rather, how.”
As I gaze up at the stars on this moonlit night
I smile to myself,
Because I know I have through unknown reasons
Gained the knowledge of the Meaning of Life.
