Position:Home>Poetry> I couldn't sleep one night and my brain came up with this...?


Question:Each person is living his or her own life
But I'm just wandering 'round like a lost soul

I've matured beyond my years, they say
Maybe I'm just an old soul.

She laughs at his jokes
And he kisses her
I try to make myself fit into this picture

I feel like an outsider
Constantly looking in to the world

I know this is not who I am,
But I feel like the Scrooge
Who watches life go on without him
As nobody realizes he's gone

Are you out there, somewhere?
Where can I find you?
I need to find another lost soul.

I can't go on without you
I need you in my life - NO
I need to be a part of yours

This isn't my life
This is not what I asked for
But wait, you never even asked.

How dare you take all this life from me
And tear me down 'til I'm just numb.

I just want some closure
You need to say sorry

And I need to find the life I was meant for
I need to find another lost soul

Are you out there, somewhere?
Where can I find you?
I need to find your lost soul.

Old souls are ofttimes difficult to find; when one does...well, it's truly amazing. Keep a simple notebook and pencil near your bed, when the muse wakens you, write down what you feel!
('Auld' souls do seek out one another! Be patient!)

OMG...that's amazing!! I wish I could think of stuff like this when I can't sleep!
