Soul Search My head is so filled with thoughts, Yet there are no words I can say to explain them, If I could I would never talk again, Never to be unsure if anyone will understand what I say again. The words are all there, Sitting on my dry sticky tongue, Waiting to escape my mouth and claim freedom, And yet they can’t. They hang back lay low, Because they are too afraid of what will come of them. If I could I would never open my mouth again, Nothing coming or going, If it was sealed forever, I would never lose the words I needed to say. They would sit waiting peacefully on my tongue, And yet, I know this is never possible. It wouldn’t matter if it were sealed though, You would still get into my soul. You would stare into my eyes, And steal away, all the things I thought I was sure of, All the things that I thought I knew. Anything that I was sure of, I question now over and over again. When the soul is stolen your mind is lost, My mind is the one thing I’m sure I will never find. So without mind and without soul I am body, And body is useless. What is body without the mind and soul? I am body therefore I am nothing. Receiving failure and misery, And all because I couldn’t keep you out of my soul.
Reason for writing:
A kid got into my head and ruined everything. He looked into my soul and pulled everything out he could and then left me for nothing. And I still love the kid even though he stole my soul.
