What are we?

Another nihilism/ meaning of life type things. I've been getting existential at night lately. This is the result.

Looking the world in the eye

Simply wondering why

We even exist 

There is so much suffering on this planet

An eternal flame of hurt

And we continue to fan it

 We live to simply just to die

However we continue to strive

For greatness

We will never know why we are actually here

To some that is comfort 

To others it is fear

Accept what is unknown

Understand that not all answers will be shown 

To the simple race of men
