I once yearned for purpose,
A chance to achieve,
To do whatever I desired,
In myself I did believe.

But the world was cruel,
And shattered was my hope,
To the future I then did look,
In the belief I’d find someway to cope.

I followed my heart further,
Believing it would lead,
To something more fulfilling,
A much more meaningful deed.

But reality caught up with me,
And I did then realise,
That love be just another distraction,
To experience before my demise.

With my mind against me all the way,
I looked to a more purposeful goal,
I now long to be free from everything,
Something I feel will save my soul.
