I Guess I'm A Lost Soul...But Maybe I'm Not

I guess I’m a lost soul

Because I am nothing like others

And I find happiness in things

That others shun

But I don’t feel all that lost

 

I guess I’m a lost soul

Because I’m not sure what I want

And when I finally am

I’m viciously opposed

But I don’t feel all that lost

 

I guess I’m a lost soul

Because I don’t make friends easily

Because I’m different

And they aren’t

But I don’t feel all that lost

 

And I guess I’m not a lost soul

Because I know I’ll be found

And maybe you’re never really a lost soul

Unless you make yourself out to be one

Great job. I love the lost soul imagery.

there are always those little things that make every single person different even if it doesn't seem to be so..."nothing is lost that cannot be found if sought"...I believe that's from the Faerie Queen...by a man whose name escapes me now :)

I absolutely love the whole meaning of this, and you convey it really well. I like how you keep the same pattern, throughout.

I've found that those who are not "different" have simply not progressed far enough in life. It's not the piercings, or the taste in music, or the type of people you associate yourself to; no, it's a sense of self that everyone needs to find. Until you find that, you are a lost soul; at least in a sense. Many find that sense of self easily, while it takes others decades of choices, crossroads, and regret before they truly discover what makes them tick. In the end, you need only move forward, and be the best, most creative, productive as you can be ...

... I believe you'll find yourself. Nice read.
