Lost Souls

Battered and broken and neglected and used

Betrayed and tortured and bloodied and bruised

Searching and seeking but can’t find a way

Pursuing and striving but to always some dismay

Wishing and wanting and hoping and praying

Feelings of rejection that goes without saying

The outcast, the loner, the misfit, the black sheep

The delinquent, the hoodlum, the weirdo, the creep

The empath, the forgiver, the man who is wise

The hated, the unloved, the detested, the despised

We’re mortals, we’re wretches, we’re sinners, we’re lost souls

We’re only human beings just trying to play our roles
