Short Thoughts

I think therefore...

Late at night I sit and ponder
What is this life for?
Is it to make memories that eventually fade?
Is it to make a difference on the world around you?
Or is it something else entirely?
All I know is that fate is known by few

It keeps me up for hours
These thoughts of mine.
Why is it that we beings called humans live?
What is our reason, our defining purpose?
What are we supposed to do in this world?
All I can say is that it seems we are acting out a play, and death is the curtains

Are we the screen writers?
Are we the ones thinking up life's lines?
Are just going to listlessly go through life until we die?
What are we doing? Why are we here?
Is what I think as restless sleep roams near

We go around filling in these blanks in our lives such as
What to do as a kid? Go to school.
What after school? Get a job.
And after that? Get a family.
But what exactly is our real purpose?
How can we find our path?

So I think, I ponder, I and then think some more
I wonder what our lives are for
I walk, I run, and skip through life
Fighting all my internal strife
I try, and try, to find a way
To figure out what our lives say
But nothing seems to fit quite right
I just can't bring the truth to light

And then more evidence came to me
"I think therefore I am" is nearly the key
But that confuses me even more
Why is it like that? Why 'therefore'?

And then I came to a conclusion,

If people exist because they think, and if they are here in this existence because they have thoughts.
They wouldn't that mean, that what people do the most, what they do a lot,

Is the reason we are here?

Therefore my insight on to why we are here, why we live on this planet, why we breathe, why we sleep, why we live, why we die, why have this thing called life is!

"I exist therefore I think."
