There You Stand

There you stand
With your life very bland
Trying to carry on
As if nothing is wrong

There you stand
With nothing in your hand
To offer to creation
Other than your soul’s cancellation

There you stand
Disobeying every command
We are governed by the law
But you play to your own music score

There you stand
With your mind un-manned.
Sailing blind in the sea of despair
Your heading to a place called nowhere

This poem is well wrote and tells of loss meaning in ones life. Purpose of life gives inspiration and guidance, sadly many have not looked or found the purpose. Inspiring poem. Thanks
