Pondering Significance
Sometimes I wonder,
"Would the world really be bettter off
without me?"
My mind brings this up constantly and
I can't decide,
"Is it true?"
I don't know what I should do.
I know that,
if I happened to die tomorrow,
those I love would mourn me. Yet,
the world would just keep turning
as if I'd never existed at all.
Would my absence make any difference?
I guess, I never quite pondered
my own significance.
Is it true that, maybe,
I'm just so insignificant
that, my existence,
to the world,
matters not?
Now, isn't that food for thought?
Would my death change anything, or
would it be in vain?
Would it make the world a better place, or
would it just cause pain?
I need answers to these questions because
they're driving me insane.
