The Road of Lost Souls

In silence,  I have waited, been withdrawn, enclosed & hated,
What I see inside these walls,  means nothing much to me,
I have stared out in the cold, been ruthless,  I'm told, with no regards
Towards  friends or family.
The confinement I feel, is not all that real, I'm comfortable with
The solitude inside my head.
Alone in this hole,  that I call home,
made up of  concrete &  grey stone,
I hunger for the day when I'm released.
I have been lost for so long now, I couldn't tell you now,  just how,
Many years that I've been in.
I have lost my way home, left my soul shell shocked sold,
to the darkness which preys on those lost in sin.
I ask myself for forgiveness, convince myself,  that this is all there is,
 it boils my blood to think there's, some God out there who loves me.
If your God is listening,  to the word that come twisting from my mouth
And in to his ears.
Let him hear what I say, cause only today,
I'll,  ask for forgiveness and to guide me along my way.
Lord I have fallen, been near dead with out calling.
I show no weakness, nor fear for who I am.
I'm wondering alone,  on this road of lost souls
Searching for Heaven, trying to 
get In...
