The Purpose of Life
What is the purpose
In this life
To experience love
Or series of strife
Are we to learn
To be happy alone
In search of one’s self
Until it is known
Is it to teach
Of struggles and pain
That accomplishments are made
Through extreme inner strain
That nothing comes easy
And if it does
It will all fade away
To something that was
The reasons must be
To have some of both
Before we complete
The cycles of growth
