“The Purpose of Life”
By Ashley O’Hare
The purpose of life.
This grand idea
has hovered above my head
for years and years.
I first thought we all
share the same purpose-
that everyone is born driven
to answer the same call.
But there are too many people-
billions of faces I will never see.
To share a single goal
seemed like a waste to me.
The more frightening conclusion
drove away my sweet dreams.
The purpose of our lives
is unknown to the naked eye.
I only have my mind
and time
to discover mine.
