The Purpose of Life

The Purpose of Life

A Poem by Ripples of My Thoughts

What does it mean to be alive?
What does it mean to be happy?
What does it mean to be in pain?
What does it mean to breathe?
I have experienced it all. 
Have I?
What is the purpose of this life?

I am on a road whose journey i planned 
But I not know of any hindrance 
Or if it is my path to follow.

I feel terrible when i loose my basis
i just want to see my oasis
What am I missing? What did I leave behind?
What is the purpose of life?

I feel like i meant to do more
I know I am meant to do more
But what is it?
What is the purpose of this life?

I feel disconnected from myself
Becoming a person I don't want to face
I am changing on the inside,
Not the outside.

There are things i want to say 
But i always stop and think
what would others say?
People look up to me 
My family, my friends and their parents as well
No one knows what goes inside my head
I am afraid to be myself
What is the purpose of this life?

I am always happy
I love being happy
But never sad
I want to help others 
I want to be loved 
I want to know the purpose of this life

I want that love,
Love, that we see in movies 
Love, that we read in books
Love, that I see everyday
But how will I get that love if I can't love myself?
Maybe that is the purpose of life.

To love myself
To start loving myself
To appreciate the love i get everyday
That is the purpose of life.
