The Edge of Purpose

Are we but a culmination of every choice we ever made,
formed by the times we’ve been dented and bruised,
tamed by the views as set by society,
and moulded into obedient slaves,
unseeing and unfeeling, unquestioning?

Or are we the result of our passions and desires,
taking leaps that take us over the edge of purpose,
obtaining scars and bruises along the way,
yet the pleasure outweighs that what we seek.
