A Lost Soul

You pass me in the halls and our eyes briefly meet.
You hold the door open for me as I enter behind you.
I say "Thanks" but you have no idea that my mind is blank.
In the room you crack a joke, I flash a smile, you have no idea my heart is in denial.
You ask me how my day was and I say "Fine". What a lie.

Once you lose your soul there is no turning back.
Everything you once dreamed of no longer has an impact.
Your days are so long the problems in your mind make you question if you should carry on.
You smile so that's what people see on your face, they think you are happy but deep down inside you feel sad and depressed.
Each day the performance you give is Emmy Award Winning.

But you question yourself and wonder if you act is just a way to hold off your own internal sinnings.
When you wake up from a nights sleep you wonder to yourself if today is the day your heart will be ack to its old self or will it still be skipping every other beat.

You wonder if things that once made you happy to be alive will make a comeback.
You wonder if the little things in life that made you who you are will have you once again dreaming for the stars.
You wonder if you will feel less empty hearted.
You wonder to yourself who holds that match to start that fire.
You're tired of running and losing your breath.
You want to hold tight to something that will help you once again enjoy the journey into lifes amazing treks.

You want to feel that everyday will be better than the last.
You want to return your lost soul feeling into a thing of the past...

I was bullied and nobody would stand up for me. I had to stand up for myself and everybody believed the lie the bully made up about me so I wrote this poem. Its excatly how I feel.
