Soul Abandoned

Soul Abandoned 

I know there is so much for me to do in this life 

So much hope abounds in my spirit 

The spirit to help others

To make the life around me so much better 

To write my way into a better society 

From housing to self-improvement to just encouraging 

Constantly in search of finding something better outside of myself 

In search of fulfillment, I went for what looked like the ultimate pot of gold 

Helper jobs, higher education, certificates

Only to find out that it was nothing more than a cheap one-night stand

Frustrated with bureaucracy 

Upset with "same ol', same ol'"

No one wanting change

Frivolous times, indeed 

When you realize that the people you work with don't have the same level of passion for the job

The same respect for others

Simple decency

The moment you know your soul is abandoned with complacency, paradise lost, no magic pot of gold, and anger and hopelessness you swore you'd never have because of your surroundings

Is the moment you realize that you can no longer stay 

Is the moment you venture back in the world as the free spirit you are and abandon your soul to hope and passion  

I try to remain hopeful

And faithful 

And as true to my inner self as possible  

Knowing that there is something out there for me
