Analysis of Purpose
Life is mysterious
And its answers I seek
To give me some purpose
Cause my future seems so bleak
We are here for a reason
And that's why we exist
My quest for these answers
Just leaves me upset and p*ss*d.
I tried hard to reason
Why my life is so swell
If u don't get the gist
I'm just sarcastic as hell
I'm not suicidal or deviant
Just tired and done
In company, I'm the joker
Who just likes to have fun
People think I am funny
And I'm happy as hell
Tears masked in laughter
I think, splendidly well
I have nothing to offer
And in time I'll be gone
So patiently I wait
Until my number is drawn
