Wasted Soul

Twenty-six years and two months
Four children and one ex-husband
NO job, no income to speak of
NO reason to continue

My kids are taken care of
And are young enough to forget
My ex-husband could care less
If I slipped away from life

I feel no reason to continue
I am nothing more in this life
Then a wasted soul
Unless you can tell me

Another reason for my being
Stranded on this earth
Without a stitch of love
From any one around

I am a wasted soul
Wondering upon this earth
Looking for my place
Finding it not in sight

A wasted soul
Who lives through sight
Of all that I wish
I could have been

Wasted soul
Slipping from the light
Into the darkness
That fills my heart
