Soul Searcher

I’ve been soul searching my entire life,
Looking for some meaning and a clue that
I could piece together some kind of philosophy,
But all I’ve found is emptiness.
Everything has crumbled around me like a 
	sand castle and no one’s there to help repair it.

I’ve lived in shattered independence, but
	like a naked child I’m cold and alone.
I feel the judging stares surround me,
	analyzing my every action, never
Considering the pain I’ve suffered that
	haunts me.
I’m late to find the answer, so I’m
	stuck asking the question.
