The Lost Soul

A Poem

The Lost Soul.

For 37 years I have walked this earth.

I have questioned all my Journey...

The truest depths of my worth.

I wonder has it all been worth the cost ?

For the extent of this Journey...

My soul has been lost.

I have stumbled along life’s winding road.

Trying to grow wise and strong.

The signs and directions sometimes so clear...

Yet I have driven with the brakes on.

Of all the hearts that have given themselves to me.

All the touches of the tenderest and the passionate hands.

I have never found a soul that connected to mine.

That saw the real me and that understands.

I shouldn’t be surprised...

For behind my disguise.

There is someone who wants to be found...

But hides.

With this life that I have created...

I know I am loved and I am hated.

The truth is I done the best that I could...

But I am forever misunderstood.

There is so much that I want but I’m unable to give.

Anymore that I do in this life that I live.

There were dreams that were young yet fade into the past...

There are memories of faces I wish that I could have made last.

Yet I have walked away and I have continued to walk on.

Along on this journey looking for somewhere I belong.

With a smile that hides the tears of this clown.

Fooling all those that I have near me and around.

I do all I can for those that depend on me.

Sacrifice myself and remain to be...

Incomplete and unwhole...

For I am The Lost Soul.
