Worth it

I've been thinking lately
How this life
Is just so crazy
Strive to be a good person
But is it even worth it?

Slaved for six years
Working to pay for college
So that I could get a decent job
Reach society's new bar
Now I'm searching for a job
To pay for attained knowledge
No one tells you it's this hard
Just to be so common

I've learned the people
who love you most
Will always end up hurting you
It's inevitable
The cycle that they put us through
Innocently or on purpose
Loving others exposes us
To all the pain
Inside of us

Just when you think you've got it right
Life will throw a monkey wrench
Laugh in your face
To show you it's not perfect
Waking up every day
Questioning my life's purpose

You go until
You go insane
Thinking if the thoughts
You're thinking are right
Questioning your ever-changing path
And hoping you'll be alright

Ah, I see you too are dancing center stage with life itself, isnt it so breathtaking when it begins to spin you around, to the beat of the music, and when you come to see, its to late to stop spinning. Now, like a top, you continue on such spin, trying to figure out how to refrain the speed you are going, where are you now? a lane of 70mph? Yes, life seems to continue to raise its speed on us, and just like the wind, its seems to leave and comes rushing back towards us.

But I say! Grab it towards the hair and ride such speeds, halt the breaks and find a detour towards its destination. It will just try to speed out towards you again, but other paths will surely keep it in place.

I found these ponderings to be most relatable Kristen. Well penned piece. I think when we figure out what's most important then we are on the right track.
