Strive

I'm lost
a mand without a name
my destination is unknown
my purpose unclear.

I'm confused
I can't think straight
should I? Or shouldn't I?
Yes or no, well maybe?

It's hopeless
short days and long nights
all the endless roads
where do I turn?

The question
do I run and hide?
or maybe just cry
I could die?

What's wise
to hide, cry or to die?
None of these are wise,
the answer is... STRIVE.

Always strive
strive to leave your
mark upon the earth
for all to remember you.

Strive forever
to do your best with
courage in your heart
for we only live when we strive.
