Analysis of My Take on Life



It was inevitable for me to find
the answers of life are unclear
and full of vague interpretation
but still, with full determination,
I set out to explore my existence

no need to write new books
or inspect old screwed hooks that may be faulty
they say, “All can be found in what’s already dug from the ground”
so I trust society

life is purpose,
life is worth it,
life is about the journey,
not the destination.
All is scrambled
and in shambles
but Don’t Worry
cause' we All are a part of this confused nation

truth be told
I’m not sure I find value in the traditional
rather than the obscure
and maybe that shows my age
as I've only just grazed this earth for 18 years

but, there’s one rule I find comfort in
and that is the fact I know there’s no right way
All just speculation, interpretation, and determination to find…
