I woke up one morning and I was alive
It was around the age of five
Not knowing why I exist
Was there something that I had missed
I was born, but why
Beginning to cry
No idea where I came from
Wondering what will I become
The questions flying by at light speed
For the answers I plead
What is the point of being
Am I just a tourist out for the sightseeing
There has to be a point to existence
This life has to have some kind of subsistence
The day continued on
There was no conclusion to be drawn
This life I never asked for
The gift I was given I can not ignore
There has to be a reason to be
Of this I need a guarantee
The night falls and I drift off to the world of dreams
Knowing that everything is not what it seems
Almost twenty years later
And my knowledge of these things is no greater

Tomorrow comes for those who fear it.
Today never ends for those who live it.

Thank You lyricpoet
I know inkedgoddess, though I wish for the answers and they never seem to come, this is something we have to deal with
Thank You for the hug LeeJ
