Define Purpose

by rollingpandasloth

In this life we have one mission To find purpose to belong What does it mean to belong to fit in to disappear I come to you with a proposition A sliver of hope in these dark times Break free from this expectation This mission do something different Take a step back a step away from the Status Quo Break the pattern I'm here to tell you that it is your time Time to do something nobody else can do be yourself Paint a picture Sing a song Stand out To find purpose To be free

<p>This poem is so inspiring! I love how you encourage the reader to break free from the norms of society. A lot of the time, people are afraid to deviate and be their true selves, but your poem lets people know that it is far better to "Break the pattern...be yourself..." because letting your own identity shine through is true freedom.
