Purpose in a Page

Still searching for purpose
Still jotting out these words as if I’ll find it in a page
And I do
But some days I can’t escape
Feeling maybe all of this is worthless
I guess we all feel that way
When we’re overexerted

In the dirt and going shirtless
Sometimes we all need a break
Have to work to deserve it
Serve it all it can take
Then give it one more just for good time’s sake
So many ways one can word it

My mind is great
Although, that’s needless to say
For you’ve already observed it
My mind state
Rise early; grind late
Everyday I’m birthed in

The darkness throws shade
I don’t even try to swerve it
‘Cause all this light I’ve got inside
It be making me nervous
I just keep it all in stride
Leaving them burning
Choking on hate and the shame

Maybe life is about learning
Becoming and being
And about love
Or, at least, it would seem

The pages keep turning
Time keeps changing the scene
Maybe all in all
It all doesn’t really mean a thing
Maybe there’s naught that it is about

That I can’t help but doubt
When everything there is
Has a why and a how
But it’s enshrouded in a cloud
It’s up to us to break it down
Make it now
Figure it out
