I need to believe in something.

I need to feel that there’s something out there,

a force of some sort that guides us

out of the path of all our worst fears,

but religions all seem to be harmful

encouraging only hated and fear.

So I pray to unnamed powers

and hope that something out there can hear.

Please help me find the answer.

Please tell me what to do.

Will I ever find my place in life?

Will I ever know the truth?

I know what’s right and wrong for me.

I figured that out on my own.

I just need something to tell me

am I truly all alone?

Please tell me….

What is this life?

What is it for?

What am I here to do?

Is there any reason to it all?

Why should I bother pushing through?

Is there really any meaning

in this random chaotic world?

And if I keep trying hard enough,

will my prayers ever be heard?

I don’t believe in destiny.

I don’t believe in fate,

but sometimes it seems

that the way things happen

must be more than some mistake.

So what is it then?

How does this work?

Who decides what’s going to be?

Is there something out there guiding the world

or is this really up to me?
