TRUTH (Why am I here?)steemCreated with Sketch.

Frustrated, turning to self-destructive behavior, we cope
Lives are destroyed descending down this slippery slope

TRUTH


Often hidden in shadows it slips out of view
Under layers of struggle it's found in dark places
Riddled by coded messages impossible to comprehend
The truth about our struggle, the human condition
Is sought tirelessly by weathered old men

Why? We ask ourselves, are we here?
What is the meaning of life?
Muddled and clouded, it's horribly unclear.
Frustrated, turning to self-destructive behavior, we cope
Lives are destroyed descending down this slippery slope

Listen to the elders, they've wisdom beyond years
Leverage the lessons lived by life's survivors
The answers lie in the journey
With pain and celebration
We build a portfolio for the soul that transcends our bodily creation
