Whither My Soul

A poem inspired by a word prompt that developed into an emotional piece.

Whither My Soul

Too many years... shameless rebellion
Youth spent... Self-serving hellion
Stealing, cheating, fighting, and lies
Blind to the pain....Dear mother's eyes

Lost to confusion... Developmental years
Beloved mother... Ocean of tears
Have you found peace...Your place on the knoll
What have I done....Whither my soul
