Drifting

I sometimes find I'm drifting
Through this life without effect;
I often wonder if I'm truly
worth what I've been blessed.

I search through days that have been hard,
To try to understand,
The many trials that I have known,
The life that I have had.

You see me in my daily grind,
So confident and strong;
Yet when I am alone, I question
Just where I belong.

I often try to hard I find,
To analyze and guess,
To scrutinize, investigate
My life I will confess

For somewhere deeper, there must be
Some meaning to this life,
Some way to make a difference,
Give a reason for this strife.

Is there some hidden meaning?
Some agenda to be found?
A greater purpose waiting
If I care to hand around?

The only way to stop drifting is to put your feet in the water and stand strong against the current, writing definitely helps, your thoughts are real and true. thanks for sharing :)
