Purpose


This poem is called Purpose, and I wrote it to let everyone know that there is a reason that they are on this earth and no matter who tries to put you down just remember you are going to do big things with or without them. This poem was inspired by the song I Am Here by Beyoncé. So to everyone, we see you! Purpose, yes there is a reason I am here I will open my eyes and listen with a good ear I will take in knowledge and put it all into play For I will leave footprints in the sand on my judgment day I will not be forgotten but truly missed Yes I do have purpose, so listen to this I am here for a reason no doubt about that Bring sunshine and brightness to every place that I’m at Making someone’s day and learning someone’s name Making sure no one feels invisible, too fat or too plain Securing everyone’s faith and making someone smile Never being selfish and always going the extra mile Never to be complacent, always striving for more My life has a purpose; I’m built with wings made to soar My name will not slip into oblivion; it will be engraved in every heart Constantly bringing joy, I’ll make sure to do my part Purpose, I have a reason to be here I will not be put down and controlled by my fear Purpose, there IS a reason for my existence I will always work hard and maintain my persistence Purpose, for there is a reason I am me I am here! I am here! Look and see My true purpose is to make sure I leave something behind To do my job on earth, to finish my life delivered and signed -XOXO Purposeful
