Walking down a dimly lit hall
Never coming to an escape, an exit, an end.
I reach a corner, a door, at last!
But no, it is only another bend.
I feel I must be going in circles here
Trapped in this cruel maze
Can't you see I'm tired?
I'm frustrated by this never-ending journey
Now I see the truth before me
The illusion fades away
The colors blending to black and white and gray
I'm imprisoned
Caged with no companion
Trapped in this nothingness that surrounds me
The nothingness that consumes me
Penetrates me
Dwells inside me
Eats away at my very being from all sides
After struggling so long I've grown listless
I've grown restless
The flame that once fought so fiercely to burn
Flickers
Dims to a gentle glow
All but blown away
