Analysis of Lost Soul



My soul got lost in the woods
I trusted you , they hurt me, Now my heart is tattered and voice misunderstood
Bound by the choices that I made
There’s no healing the hurt that you all dished out and gave
My soul has a peep hole, my mind is forever in pain
Now I deal with nightmares you caused me every day
If I could fix my mistakes I would
But it’s to late my soul is lost in the woods
Beaten, raped and stabbed,
There’s no way you can take that back
All the sorry’s in the world won’t fix what you caused
I believe my soul is forever lost
My body is broken and there’s no fixing the aches and pains
I wish I could feel peace and not feel like I’m going insane
I hope one day my soul will heal and my mind can rest
I hope god can heal me one day
My mind, my body, my soul
Until that day happens, I live with the pain that I was sold
My soul was taken from me in the woods
Now it’s wondering lost
Maybe one day god will return it back to me at no cost
