Another Lost Soul

 

I’m lost; could you try to find me?

I feel bad; would you look for the good inside me?

I ran away from myself, and I haven’t seen me since,

They say ignorance is a curse, I say it’s bliss.

 

I can see the pain behind your half closed doors,

I can hear the screams within your gentle voice.

You want to get off the merry-go-round,

But it’s going to fast; it’s no longer your choice.

 

I’m a lost soul, be my soul mate tonight,

I feel insecure; could you just hold me for a while?

You’re hiding from the shape shifting shadows that haunt your dreams,

But even when you’re awake, nothing’s quite the way it seems.

 

You got to be brave, and face your fears,

Don’t listen to what they whisper, in your ears.

Don’t grow up too fast, cause after that you just grow old,

Do what you know is right, not what you are told.

you have such a natural lyrical style..

i love the yearning in this.. esp the line "I'm a lost soul, be my soul mate tonight"
the tonight implies - be my soulmate JUST for tonight, which seems profound to me, like using only a bucket of water to fill the well, just to have a sense of what it is to be full.. until the water is soaked into the rock again..

wonderful and such a vulnerable narrative voice

hmm sounds like a friend i wouldn't want in my life, sounds like the one i have been shaking off me for yrs now. Good write! Everyone has a choice! Everytime, all the time! I lost myself when i was married & then divorced but i have found her and now making improvments and discovering things i never knew existed in me!
