A Soul Lost
Screaming at the top of my lungs 
 and no one seems to hear a thing. 
 No one looks up. 
 I'm standing in a pool of water. 
 Move forward and it rises. 
 Drowning me and my desire for the
 green light. 
 Dip down for a drink 
 and the liquid recedes. 
 Trapped in a stasis between salvation and hell. 
 There is no happy ending. 
 There is only my ending. 
 Be it happy or sad. 
 Glad or mad. 
 It is my own.
 My past, my present and my future. 
 A long chronology of random events leading to 
 God knows where. 
 Anywhere is better than here,
 A crying, broken girl in the middle of a square and 
 No one looks up. 
 No one notices. 
 No one cares. 
 No one knows. 
 A world of ignorance
 Blissful oblivion.
 And yet you can't bring yourself to give a damn 
 Because there is nothing to be said. 
 I used to say though a battle is lost. 
 A war still rages on,
 but there's nothing to fight anymore. 
 It just doesn't matter. 
 It's not worth it like it used to be. 
 Nothing's the same,
 yet nothing's changed. 
 A story of strife long forgotten 
 in a sea of smiling faces 
 and cruel intentions.
 False pretenses. 
 Smiles that mean less,
 because nothing can hide the mess. 
 It is what it is. 
 You're everything you never wanted to be. 
 Lost, worthless, meaningless. 
 A book of memories not worth revisiting. 
 Pages and pages burnt at the corners
 and ripped at their bindings. 
 Another soul dropped at the end of the Earth, 
 backpedalled far from that hallowing light. 
 Nothing's the same 
 and nothing's changed. 
 Everything that mattered doesn't anymore,
 and you wonder if that smiling girl with baby cheeks and soft feet 
 will ever be seen again. 
 Because despite the pain. 
 Maybe her spirit can be regained.
