Purpose

The elephant in your conscience
The things that keeps you humble
The biggest mistakes you've made
The secrets you're carrying to the grave
The actions that brought embarrassment
The skeletons hidden deep in your closet
The failures that hurt your confidence
The losses that shaped your countenance
The trials that tested your perseverance
This life that's proved you're resilience...
One day, you'll look back on it all
and finally know the cause.
