Soul Searching

My mind is soul searching

Searching far and wide

Searching for an inner peace

That is locked up inside

Searching in religion

Not knowing what is true

Finding little answers

Not knowing what to do

My mind is still soul searching

Delving through my fear

Searching for an inner route

That is distinct and clear

Searching externally

For the meaning of my life

And why my life continues on

Whilst others fail and now are gone

My mind is oh soul searching

Searching for a mate

That love can consume my soul

And obliterate my hate

Yet here I'm still soul searching

No road I take is clear

Hoping that if I search for long

Answers will appear
