Meaning

Meaning is meaningless without a guide to keep it 

You must find your own meaning in the world

Forget why anyone told you to

Really, you must do it for yourself, by yourself, within yourself 

Ideally, live every single day without regret, as if it were your last

Exist, though, not for the reasons of each cliche movie, quip or quote 

Never "just do" anything, because every move you make is the necessary one 

Definitively, you were born into this world

So, you are MEANT to be in it. 

Like each action or idea you carry out

It was and ever will be the occurrence the world required 

Sadly, when you are done the world will have lost an influential element 

Truthfully, you are important, more than you will ever know

Even now you are in control of who you are, how you act and where you go 

Nurture the decisions you make, they are your own to own 

This world exists with you, not for you or against you 

Open yourself to what the world, fate or faith intended 

Mentally conquer whatever outcomes, whatever it takes

Everything has meaning and everyone has purpose
