Shakened Soul

Shakened Soul

©2004 by Bud Lemire

I have within, a shakened soul

It doesn't seem to feel quite whole

I feel so low and empty inside

If not for fear, I'd think suicide

Oh guide me, to the rightful place

Take away the frown upon my face

For the past I lived, has so much pain

And now I fear I will go insane

You've taken away my friends and home

And taken my pride, and left me all alone

Am I really as bad, as some people say

To make two souls, go their separate way

You said I didn't try hard enough

I was too soft and I needed to be tough

I let you inside, to see in my shell

Now life has become, a life of hell

During and sometime following my

separation from my wife, I was in a

dark place. I wasn't sure how I was

going to shake it. I know the new

beginning I had, helped a whole lot.

I moved forward and never looked back.
