A man without a purpose

A miserable man

someone once told me “ a man without a purpose is a miserable man “

I didn’t understand it at first

But now I completely do

I see it

Without a purpose you’re depressed

You don’t know what to do with yourself

So you numb the feeling by drinking everyday

You reflect how you’re feeling onto others

Without even noticing it

You start unnecessary shit

You say unnecessary shit

Why

Because you’re a miserable depressed man

It has nothing to do with me

But everything to do with yourself

How you feel about yourself

You have no purpose

You don’t work

So you don’t know what to do with yourself anymore

You’re home all day

Just drinking

Trying to numb out the feelings you feel about yourself

But when that doesn’t work

You argue with others

To feel something

I feel sad for you

& hope I never become someone without a purpose

sad poetry
