Old Soul

Old Soul

Old soul confined in a heart so young
A feeling you don't quite belong
But all combined Leeds 
directly to a heart grown strong
And all leads to a stronger mind

Destined to lead a life
Made hard and hasty
The world so loud
Doesn't match your kindness
For your
Kind hearted nature
Mixes with the dirt upon thee earth
That in turn diluted 
the most purest of hearts

As you travel along the wildest plains
You cannot possibly dodge 
all the poison darts aimed at you
All your life
Life isn't without its pains
But also with that
Comes it's gains
Each soul
Each heart
Each life
Has many different strains
