Escape

I began to wrestle with myself. My thoughts were taking over. Slowly I slipped into deep ellipses, regretting each cumbersome motion. I reached my stricken arm out to others, finding no help, no energy or strength. It came to my mind, that enigmatic maze, that I can't free myself, the bonds will never be unshackled. Each bar of restraint repeatedly reminds me: there's no escape.
