Here I am

Alone and so confused

Imprisoned

Where walls whisper solitude

Unwinding corridors

No notion where they lead

Any beauty on the surface

Hiding leagues of rot beneath

If you could hear me

Would you sense how far I've gone astray?

A little every day

I would pay dearly

To find a pathway to escape

And leave this endless place

So here I am

Lost within the maze

Indecision

A trudge through countless days

Labyrinthine avenues

No notion where they lead

Whispers burning like a furnace

It brings me to my knees

If you would see me

Could you tell how far I've gone astray?

A little every day

I will pay dearly

To find a pathway to escape

And leave this endless place

In splintered waves

Perceptions break

My journey here has been erased

A coiled array

Of great dismay

A voice will guide and I obey

Silent, but for the sound

Of echoes of footsteps

Timelessly circling

This world inside my head

Glorious emptiness

Where shadows dance within

Solitary wanderer

Lost inside forever
