Wonder

I often question why we are here
are we pieces to a bigger puzzle
why do we hide these questions from the world,
afraid of rejection, fear?

I often question what it's like to be mute, 
observing the world instead of trying to figure it out-
observing people instead of telling them what to do

I often wonder why we are all afraid-
afraid of getting old,
afraid to obtain a new career
afraid of money.

I always wonder why we can't just live at peace,
why does the world dictate who you are-
why can't we just be and that's enough.

Sometimes, I wonder what sort of things keep people going-
whether they are near death or have something traumatic happen
We are all the basis of one thing, human,
we all thrive with love and communication and if it is neglected, we simply can't go on. 

Life from a 25 year old is far from difficult,
it's rather an observation-
appraised from a young adult
there's so much life ahead of me, 
yet I need some answers first.

I wonder what life would be like if society gave up-
it was up to us to become our greatest
what would happiness be?
