Raison d'etre

Describing heaven
Sometimes it is paradise lost
A feeling that we thought
Would never end

Underneath the bitterness
And the anger
We sometimes find
The raison d'etre

The momentary condition
That keeps you happy
For a certain amount of time
And scarless

Rats in a maze
Find the reason
For being
With the cheese

We are like rats
Struggling to survive
For something
We view as important
