    Life Thoughts...

    What do I do?
    I wonder what the future holds.
    I ponder carefully, for I know-all that glitters isn't gold.
    Life seems so big, and me-so small.
    My only fear of rising is that I may fall.
    Will I be the success that I want to be in life?
    Will I have the happy & healthy kids with a beautiful wife?
    Very often, I contemplate on life's sheer purpose.
    I wonder if everything I do to achieve my goal is actually worth it.
    Will the hopes & dreams I hold one day come true?
    And thoughts like these just occur out of the blue.
    Sometimes, I feel alone, as if no one else exists.
    Quiet as I think about thoughts like this.
    The world around me seems to be in slow motion & soundless.
    Though I know that life's many possibilities are boundless.
    Do I keep trying?
    I know that I should.
    But the point of it all is:
    I want the best out of life, never settling for "just good."
    -Quinton DeJarnette
