Searching Poem by Ozark Mountain Homegrown

I feel so lost to this world

There's no joy left in me

I've spent my whole life searching

For the things not meant to be



I've been searching for a dream

That's not real, does not exist

Always looking for elusive things

They're so hard to resist



My time, it has now passed

All hope is gone...I'm lost..
Happiness eludes me

Grief and anger is the cost


There is nothing left inside

I have nothing left to give

I've been so busy searching
That I just forgot to live



And now that I am old

And my last days on earth are near

I know this thing I'm searching for

Has always been right here



It lives inside of me

But I've been too blind to see

Is this life's grand illusion

Or just my sad conclusion
