I have always wondered what
my purpose is in life.

But what I have learned is
that it really isnt important.

We live on this earth to hurt
others and to be hurt by them.

Many call this growing up.
I call it misery.

We are all sinners and know
nothing about truth.

What we know is always changing
by the optical illusion of what
we see.

Never real. Never fake.

For only the beholder of the view
can make the judgement

I fail to agree your line of thought on this piece, I do not live to hurt and do not define myself by what others think....but, we are here not to judge peoples views but rather to read their poetry. This piece seems to flow well, I'm curious to see something else.
