Soul Seeks

Swimming in the vast darkness of a void,

My soul seeks validation

An empty shell contained by a deprived vessel,

My soul seeks explanation

A heartbeat perpetuates the art of life,

An endless seam of self-determination

My existence persists, but to no avail;

A walking corpse, a body for sale

Tell me what my conscious craves,

To be not a commodity like the slaves

Buy my time for a body to lust,

But my soul seeks warmth and trust
