Predicted Purpose


A long time ago,

I’ve discovered what I wanted to do as a career,

And I know I’m able to capture this dream I’m pursuing.

But looking at most of these people around me,

And knowing they have a high chance of ending up as failures,

It really worries me.

I wish I can help them,

But it’s hard helping someone reach success,

When you’re stressed out trying to reach it yourself.

But I feel my purpose is not to only reach success for myself,

It’s also probably to help other people find it as well.

But how can you help these ignorant people?

How can you help someone that doesn’t want any assistance?

How can you help someone that doesn’t realize that their life is FUCKED,

If they don’t get their shit together now?

I really do want to help these people.

But most of these people don’t want the assistance.

Most of these people would ignore lectures,

Follow the wrong crowd,

And continue to do the stupid shit that they consistently do.

I guess what they say is true,

You can lead the horse to the water,

But you can’t force him to drink.
