And So I Write

sometimes I wonder
what I am doing
why am I here on this earth
can I make a difference
will my life matter
what is it truly worth
I want to live
not only exist
I want to be my best
to be remembered
for something great
to settle the unrest
within my soul
that drives me on
continuing the fight

...and so I write.

I believe that you have spoken so poignantly for so many of us here on P.S., as well as for the generation that was in college in the late '60's, so many of us struggling with 'who we were.' Love it, Julia. Thanks, Gershon
