Searching


Where is the love? The tenderness of the heart where people join together. Arms all around and hands held. I miss the feeling of it And where has it gone? The place where I'm in, is all but hate and despair Surrounded by thousands of helpless ones, anguish and silence Dark and dull atmosphere I cannot find the light No friends No family To lead me to it. How blind and useless I am I am all but an individual that is Lost Bewildered Loveless Desperate Disconsolate and shamed Am I the only one feeling this way? The world is all but a big question And how am I stuck here with no room to think I am in need of something Something that may be impossible to grasp But depravity fogs my sight Sorrow is what leaves my thoughts in a puzzle So when will my torment truly end? Maybe, a door will open someday. To guide me through the dark And rid me of this evil that constricts me for all this hate in humanity. I want to return to the soothe feeling of warmth That comes from the heart that never burns out. I will keep it burning as long as I search for that key To reach that tiny glimpse of light The light where I find love.
