Purpose

Once in a while a thought arises

That brings to mind the word "purpose"

What shall I do when on this Earth?

What is my purpose?

When I was growing up I was told

Fancy stories that would encourage me

No prince featured in these tales

It was always about my endeavour

Change the world, you will

Bring change to your homeland

As the years go by in your life

Your purpose will be brought to light

I wonder the truth behind those tales

Will they ever be deciphered

Or did I make other choices

That have altered the course of my life?

Does purpose really matter?

Or happiness in your current state is all important?

Why do I feel a void despite "everything"?

Why is there emptiness despite joy?

I look to the universe again for answers

But there is only black silence to be found

Some day in this life time I hope

My plea is heard

Not to change the world I say

But give me the joy of changing lives

A little voice speaks inside of me

You have already started that, it says

Keep your work going

And don't look to the heavens for answers

Come back here often and learn to chat

So your purpose shall be revealed
