The Hunt For Meaning

All of my life, I searched for meaning

For someone I could feel like I belong

For a purpose to life, some miracle gleaning

To prove that my being here was not wrong.

I expected to spend my life mostly alone

For surely friends had better places to be

How could I be better than time spent at home?

I always was blind to the attraction of me

Meaning and Purpose are ever-shifting aims

That always change over time as you grow

The hunt is not without it's sorrows and pains

And if you succeed, only you will ever know.
