WHY AM I HERE?

Brought into the world with a mission
Clueless at the first instance
Just mere touring at a measly glance

Taking chances at existence
getting by to any end

I’m alive!

That’s what I often say

Happy for the most part
As I’m not counted amongst the dead
But peace doesn’t reign

It should...

I have pledged to be at peace all the time
What about you?
Scared, I used to be about the end
Even though I've taken chances to meet an end

I pace in, out, sides, sometimes up and down

For an end, I must find

I lose myself sometimes
But to what end?

Voices spout words, scream, whisper, sing, some even bicker
Now they often make me wonder

Should I continue to shudder?

What really is the agenda?

What is my purpose?

Why am I here?
