The Purpose of Being Meaningless

Kinda Short. First Poem I'm going to post on here. Give me a break I don't do this often(by that I mean post my words on a site for people to see). Critisism however is accpeted.

M any times I've wondered "Who am I?"
E very time I came up blank.
A nd I realized just how MEANINGLESS I was.
N ow it occured to me that I didn't have purpose,
I f I didn't have purpose than I was MEANINGLESS?
N ever would I matter if I couldn't find my purpose.
G od made me, but without purpose?
L ong looks at happy smiles made me realize,
E xcept when I was MEANINGLESS I was happy.
S o I found my purpose.
S oon I forgot the purpose of being MEANINGLESS.
And if being MEANINGLESS doesn't have a purpose than being MEANINGLESS is MEANINGLESS.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

So tell me watcha think. Oh, and if I had to dedicate this to some one it would be my Friend, I will call her Elle, because some of you might recongnize her oddly strange name, she is kinda going through the rough spot of being MEANINGLESS. THanks for reading.

Nice bit of poetry and

Nice bit of poetry and perhaps the right thing for the friend of yours .. :)

Although , a slight word of caution .... Sometimes the problem of creating a poetry centered around a word is that .. there would be a compromise in it's essence just to maintain a poetic continuity . I know you would never fall in this trap :) ... still a simple message from someone actually has been in that trap :P

Do review a few poems of mine if time permits .. :)


He who knoweth himself ... knoweth the world ....

I don't often share my poetry but when I do people either downright discourage me or tell me how great it is you reached a happy medium. I will review your poetry. Thank you again.
