My Purpose

Never asked to be born, but appreciative I should be.

Supposedly an adult by 21, but a child they still see!

The circle of life still evades me; why exactly am I here?

Live to work, work to live, then inevitably disappear!

Materialism, clout chasing, somehow, I can see.

But not for a minute, or a second, could that never, ever be me!
