Do I have a reason for living?

I thought about this today.
Do I have a reason to live
And if I dont
Should I continue on

Should I live my life
Not knowing why
Should I live my life
Without a meaning

Are people here
Just to live
Are animals here
Just to live

Some people know why they live
Some live for science
Some live for math
and some live for music

Do I live
As a burden
Why do I live
And do deserve it

Everyone tells me
Of course you do
You help everyone
And everything

But then I ask myself
If I help everyone
Then who
Who will help me

Do I live just to help others
Do I have no purpose for myself
Do I live just for others
And never for me

And if do have another purpose
Will i be able to figure it out
Or will I die
Not know if i have a reason to live

Jet-san... I think we all have a purpose. And forgive me if I'm vain, but I think one of your purposes was to meet me. Whenever I'm down, whenever I'm sad, you swoop down on your magical flying motorcycle (yes, motorcycle) and save me! ^-^ You're a wonderful person, Jet-san. Don't change.

Oh Jet! really, I find it terrible that you should doubt your existance this way. I also am a tad insulted that you don't think that we, your friends would be there for you the way we know you would be there for us. Not everyone discovers some great purpose in life, but they simply go on and live life the best they can. And living a normal life and spending some time here on earth... is that not enough of a reason to be here as any? Maybe your purpose isn't to bring about world peace, or maybe it is, but whatever the future holds in store for you, I know it will be wonderful, and great, and totally worth every minute you have ever spent here on this planet.
