The true meaning of life

Along the broken road of life we crumble and decay
a meaningless journey, no point from day to day.
Hopes are raised and shattered in faith there is no trust
As all dreams of better things lie screaming in the dust.
We search in broken hearts for the meaning of this life
but the answer cuts into our soul like a jagged edged knife.
There is no reason to be found, we're here only to survive
pain and suffering must be sent to show us we're alive.
For love and joy seem fleeting whenever they're around
then the pain of losing everything tears our spirit down.
It cuts into our hearts and leaves an ugly scar
to a desperate wounded soul the journey seems to far.
