THE MEANING OF LIFE

Do You Know Who You Are?

Do you know why you are here?

I’m just another mortal

who wonders if it’s worth being alive

I would like to be immortal

So much to do

and only a short life

I never asked to be born

Yet here I am

I never asked to die

But I know that one day I’ll leave

This is the only truth I know

These words are not rants

They are not complaints either

These are the words of an ignorant

Who one day dreams of being wise

To realize the true meaning of life

I’m not angry with life

Nor am I unhappy

I’m not overflowing with happiness

I accept what life gives me

I don’t know who created life,

But so much effort just for this?

I’m not depressed

These are just questions I ask myself

Why is my mind restless?

Why can’t I stop overthinking?

Where is the switch off button?

I know I’m not alone

There are millions like me

People devoured by questions

Beings that live in torment

Because no one knows the answers
