To Belong

An empty feeling rules my mind
In any place, state or time
I cannot connect in any kind
Where my soul could do the rhyme

To find a place I yearn to live
I have to fly away from here
I cannot fool me or my believe
That about me I have to hear

My soul jumped for heavens door
Out of this window I heard the crow
That was not I was looking for
My shattered body without my soul

After a time my roaming mind
Finally returned my brain in kind
Of a numb state but not dumb blind
A place to belong I have to find
