I'm one of the billions of human beings
trying to understand my existence.
I feel inconspicuous,
a tiny piece of an intriguing puzzle.
I'm not in control of anything; all aspects of my life
are guided by an unknown force, a series of circumstances
that ultimately define my id.
Something outside my reality or grasp
set events into motion and created me.
I am not alone; someone or something unseen
is sponsoring my journey through life.
Is it destiny? Is it fate? Is it God?
Oh, how I wish it to be God, a spiritual father
who loves and is loved by me.
What is life's goal, other than evolving the species
through a cycle of procreation, birth, and death eternal?
Scrutinizing nature, I find life's evolutionary cycle is always in play.
In truth, are we different? Do we have a soul
or a reason beyond hope itself to believe we are unique?
Only Man can question His origin.
Thus, we view ourselves as an enigma within a puzzle.
We all share a curiosity and are capable of thinking outside the box.
But I'm not just an insignificant cog in humanity's clockwork.
I am an individual puzzle piece designed to fit my role perfectly.
By whom or what; I've yet to discover,
but I pray I shall, in time.
