I'm sure I'm not the only one
Who has ever wondered why
They were put here on this Earth
To live for and how to do so

I've been called insane
So many countless times for
My own personal belief over
My own personal 'why' I'm here

It's in at least my own mind
Since I was too young to even
Know what I meant with it, but
It's my own personal belief that
I live here on this Earth we share
To be here for others, I mean
There must be a reason to why
I've been blessed with the words
I seem to share with many each day

I live by the rule of caring, without
Expecting anything back in return
But a true smile spreading your lips

My life is far from a prosperous one,
Aside from the family's income amount
My wallet is commonly empty, because
That money currently lies upon the
Table of my friend's home for their use

I care more about a stranger's life
Than I do about my own, even with the
Same exact problems we may share -
Then again, going through my own helps
To understand others in their trek
Against the battle the war of life tends
To offer us on the daily basis we live

It's a thought in me I can't explain,
But a remembrance to all - I live to
Help you all through what you need,
But I do face my own once in the while

Despite anything, I will make it my life
To make even just one life go from near
The possible end, to one of the best that
Will be remembered in the books forever -
Even if it doesn't include my name with you
I had trouble with this piece trying to express this, and I could have added more, but... I just couldn't fit my thoughts in right.

And honestly, it just feels... 'right' to leave it the way it is.
