Soul hunting

I am more alone this day than ever before.

What have I done to deserve this emptyness?

So you want to get to know me?

If only someone would look into my eyes and find my soul.

They would find despair.

They would run through my emotions and feel both pain and joy. They would not know where to go next.

They would want to end their life. Why have I not ended my life yet?

I am a fighter.

My mother once told me she could not end her life. Even if she wanted so many times, she knew it would be selfish to do so. She have four children. Would she just leave them behind? That would not be fair.

I have learned that before I decide to give up, I have to think about the people I leave behind.

The places I have not yet explored. The cultures I haven’t been a part of. The music and art I have not yet listened to, seen with my own eyes or touched with my bare hands.

No person will ever get to know me. To know me, you must find my soul.

Are you willing to go through eternity hunting for one woman’s soul?
