I'm in a maze.
A dark, endless maze.
Chasing me from behind
A fire ablaze.
Running
Trying to escape.
Not sure what I'm looking for,
A door agape?
Maybe it just ends.
Not sure what's outside.
Sometimes a play pretend,
That I sprout wings
And fly from this wicked place.
Outside I imagine,
Scars will erase
People smile
No fire of my past chasing me.
But I snap out of it and look back.
Around me is nothing but debris.
Not sure how I got
In this maze
But I'll be in here
Always.

Try Sleeping When Possessed.
All I want's a little less. To get this feeling off my chest. Sometimes it's like I can't breathe. My inner daemons writhe and seethe. My inner angel's disappeared. This loneliness that I have feared.
