Being There

Being.

Simply

being.

Awareness 

of being.

Consciousness 

of being.

Why?

Why being

at all?

Luck of

the draw?

Decisions 

made by

ancestors?

Lineage 

to now,

nothing 

more?

Merely 

thinking 

animals,

designed 

to fade

away?

Plan.

Perhaps 

a plan.

Eternal 

existence.

Always 

was always

will be?

All mapped 

out for a

purpose?

Purpose 

beyond

comprehension?

Playing a

part in the

grand 

scheme 

of things?

Acting out

a role?

Who’s 

to know?

Who’s to

know for

sure?

No one!

I think some worry too much about purpose, the need to be what is expected of them to be.
But I like the kismet in this poem, the idea of just existing as we are and being quite okay with that.
We have to live for ourselves first before we can be any good to anyone else.
The real self cannot stay hidden, oppressed or we are nothing at all.

“We have to live for ourselves first before we can be any good to anyone else.” So true. Thank you for reading
