I Feel Like My Soul Has Been Sold Poem by Ryan R

I feel like my soul has been sold.
In good times and bad times of old.
I took for granted the wishes I'm told.
And the pain in my heart burns scars my soul.

In the night, my dreams take me to
All the dreams so many seemed true.
And the stars so many, shining as if new.
But these dreams are just dreams that I sold.

When my mind takes me back to the past,
My mind aches and heart breaks at how fast
These chances I had could not last
And my purpose in life now growing old.

I feel like my soul has been sold.
In good times and bad times of old.
I took for granted the wishes I'm told.
And the pain in my heart burns scars my soul.

In the night, my dreams take me to
All the dreams so many seemed true.
And the stars so many, shining as if new.
But these dreams are just dreams that I sold.

I was young; dreams with no end
All the world, all my dreams all within
My mind and my soul that grew old.
Yet the pain in my mind remains untold.

I feel like my soul has been sold.
In good times and bad times of old.
I took for granted the wishes I'm told.
And the pain in my heart burns scars my soul.

In the night, my dreams take me to
All the dreams so many seemed true.
And the stars so many, shining as if new.
But these dreams are just dreams that I sold.

Now as the days and the years pass me by.
And I think of all I could have been not tried.
And in my heart this pain lingers and so I try
To wipe it away by hiding the tears from my eyes.

I feel like my soul has been sold.
In good times and bad times of old.
I took for granted the wishes I'm told.
And the pain in my heart burns scars my soul.

In the night, my dreams take me to
All the dreams so many seemed true.
And the stars so many, shining as if new.
But these dreams are just dreams that I sold.

Now you wonder and ask why this is,
Why I miss all these things that I've missed?
But you see in your Self what it is to have
Watched all what could be go past.

I feel like my soul has been sold.
In good times and bad times of old.
I took for granted the wishes I'm told.
And the pain in my heart burns scars my soul.

In the night, my dreams take me to
All the dreams so many seemed true.
And the stars so many, shining as if new.
But these dreams are just dreams that I sold.
