Salavation

I'm starving yet I don't desire food
I'm dead but still go on breathing
Happy yet tears run down my face
What am I searching for
I'm educated but still ignorant of my life
A leader yet when I'm called I follow
I've been stabbed but don't feel any pain 
What is my soul searching for
I'm weak yet I'm still standing tall
My skin is bruised but you are unable to see my pain
My heart is full of love yet runs by my hate
What is my flesh searching for 
It's searching for salavation
