The Big Question

What is the big question?
what is the answer to life?
Do you believe in god?
should you?
or do you believe in the after life?
maybe one day the question will hit
it will open your eyes
or give you a kick
what is YOUR question?
what do YOU believe in?
look back in life
see what you have done
even if it's good or bad
or even if it's nothing at all
what is your idea of life?
what is your point of view?
how do we know the things we do?
where did it all come from?
where is it suppose to go?
Can you think of a question
that you've always wanted to ask
an answer you've always wanted to know
what is the one thing
that is edged into the back of your mind
the one question that shows your point of view
or how you think
or even showing who you are
where do the questions come from?
where do they go?
how do our minds come up with them?
what is the voice you choose?
we all have a voice in the back of our minds
that one voice...
that may mean the world to you
your mother
father
siblings
friends
or its your own voice
you are you
you guide you
but is it really YOU?
We hear "free will"
but do we really have it?
the questions we have
may have been planted in us
at an early age
or we hear it
but we all have that 
one
question
even if its just 
ONE
we all have one
that may never be answered
but that's the mystery
mystery of life
to figure it out
for OURSELVES
to learn on our own
and live life
how we are suppose to
maybe then
our questions will be answered
even if no one answers them for us...
be you
even if that means being alone
because if you are okay
with being by yourself
that's when you know you
are living life you are suppose to
don't forget
you have people who are there for you
