Joyless. Torn. (Neverborn? Who am I?)

I wander through a ghostly mist,
searching for a past.
A past not torn by striking fist
nor neglect too vast.

A ravaged soul. A child bereft
of lifes basic needs.
My hopes are gone. Dashed out by theft -
overgrown with weeds.

I'm depressed and kinda rootless -
that's all fine by me.
For what use is my happiness
when shadowed by mortality?

As much as we all like to move out of our pasts, it's always there to haunt us; after all, it's what made us who we are today. I like that you take pain, regret, and depression and pour it into your words. It's deep, it's heart-felt, sad. I like this.
I hope that you keep writing and sharing your work. :)

Well...we're all mortal.... so might as well live and be happy while we have the chance, right?
Look forward, the past is the past and can never be brought back anyway ...... I like forward-thinking....
Great write here, makes the reader think. I like that!
