LOST SOUL
For long, i ran from the wars in my heart,
Thinking peace lives in roofs where nothing falls apart.
I closed my mind to knowledge of life's mystery,
Believing ignorance will quell my fears till I become history.
I lived believing that I was born to die
And what becomes of me after death,is vetoed by a most high.
I was just a lost soul roaming planet earth;
A lost soul waiting to be embraced by the cold hands of death.
Sometimes,I drown in my thought trying to find answers to why humans die;
Why I have to lay motionless watching my love ones cry?
Why I have to cause my mother pain during my birth,
Only to leave her crying by my grave because of death?
The more I try to know,the more i become lost.
Funnily enough, I know nothing of my life's past;
Nothing, not even knowledge of scenarios during my birth.
Seems I'm just a lost soul on planet Earth!
