Labyrinthine Ways
Right, left, up, down
Round in circles I race
Never able to face
I am lost in the depths
Deep in a labyrinthine place
Of sinister construct
A Hell's maze, one may say
Despair flying over my head
As I said, into a tunnel I fled
Now I am confused on how to escape
Everywhere I turn is a dead end
All I see is walls of bone and stone
I feel this dread gnawing
Taking nibbles and chunks
My sanity consumed by blindness
I cannot break rock
I have nothing to chip away
At these bones that block my way
All I can do is sit down and cry
Until that day I die
Down here,
Lost in this labyrinthine mind.
