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.

I have been writing Poetry since I was a teenager. Now in my late thirties I enjoy it more than ever. I find it a wonderful release and it helps me to free my mind and understand myself and my emotions.
