LOST SOUL

The lonely roads I have traversed
In deep and solemn thought
And yet perceive no ray of hope
To problems life has wrought

Weary thus in heart and soul
 I sought peace amongst humanity
And found myself on the brink of
The abysmal depths of insanity.

So I turned my back on humanity
To take comfort in solitude
And found I was much better of
At the mercy of the multitude.

But within the shadow of solitude
I sought refuge in spiritual ties
And too late. woke up to find
Heaven - a fool's paradise.

The heart assailed by doubts and fears
Turns for guidance to the mind
Finds the mind itself in doubt
Agitated, ignorant and blind.

The mind against its own will
Soars on the wings of fantasy
Revels in its own deception
And yet hates this idiosyncrasy.

It fills me with maddening dread
This doubtful frame of mind
Knowing not what reason seeks
Nor what the path will find.
