The Struggle To Find Purpose

I ask myself why!

By J.W. BairdPublished 3 years ago 1 min read
Artwork done on NightCafe

As the days, and years fly by

Instead of happiness and joy... I cry

What is the purpose of this life

To struggle with grief and endless strife

I reflect on my past, now that I am older, and I ask myself why

About the Creator

J.W. Baird

Who Am I?

I keep asking myself. I spent half of my life as a single mother. Pushing myself to be the strong independent individual that I have always been. My kids have grown and my life seems turned upside down.

I now search to find myself!
