A Challenged Earth

The challenge inside me Grows every day Will I ever be free Is there any escape To dwell on past To worry of futur To never be last To always push further To take evey task I sometimes wonder why I often think to ask Is this the answer to my life At the end of it all Did I face the right challenge Did I make the right call Did I take true advantage I don't believe life Meant for the questions The tension and strife Material obbsessions We push for the things We should Already have Enough food and clothing A bed and a bath All along we're forforgetting Exactly what we are A force of humanity Flying around a star With one purpose only As underlying as it is To die and not die lonely I guess the challenge is to live.

Life is hard and for some much harder than others. The challenge is to live and to live well.

I know I have made mistakes in the past, but when I reflect on them, I understand at the time I thought it was the right decision. I think you nailed it at the end, the biggest challenge is to live. And live life your way and be yourself. I have spent far too much of mine pleasing others. I had to learn to enjoy myself. Excellent thought
