What Is This Life All About
As I sit
I breathe deep, in and out
I struggle to calm my mind
Contemplating; what is this life all about?
I like my life
I love my family and friends
Life is filled with opportunities
I've learned a lot from the losses and the wins
Yet there is something going on
A feeling floating in the air
I try talking about it
It's not to provoke; it's because I care
We tend to take this life for granted
Yet there are victims all across this great land
The irony of this problem
Is we’re too quick to lend a “helping” hand
We fear that our kids will suffer
So we minimize the challenges modernity brings
We rescue them too quickly
They end up not learning a damn thing
So, we attempt to ignore or erase
The guilt and shame within our mind
So we “help” again
Entitling the weakest generation known to mankind
We have lost our ability to discern
Our emotions have completely got in our way
We wonder how this happened
Were completely blind to the road we have paved
As I sit
I breathe deep, in and out
I struggle to calm my mind
Contemplating; what is this life all about?
