Vortex

No light at the end of this tunnel

Vortex
      Lost in a never ending vortex sucking world. Don't know where to turn the rooms full of mirrors, the image not of me but a girl with a mask. On the outside a smile but the inside is full of death wrenching pain. I'm okay I tell them as every thought in my head says I'm never going to get out. Lost I am yes lost I am, lost in a maze of emotion, lost in a maze of life. I have to find a way, a way out. There's always a way, but not now I'm stuck in a spiraling vortex. I'm screaming as loud as I can but no one can hear me. I cry and cry but the tears won't get me out. I run as fast as I can pushing my way through. I sit down still as ever. Hearing each beat pound against my chest each beat a little fainter. I put my hand to my head and scream once more, "No!" I shout. "I will not lose this battle. I won't give up". Before my eye I was in a maze now in the woods bare feet and pajamas. I smile to myself like it's part of some inside joke. I walk home and lay down in bed. I stare a the ceiling with a stupid smile on my face and I whisper to myself "I did it". I shut my eyes only to feel a hand on arm, then my neck. Then snap! "But you don't see me" I shout. Still lost in a never ending vortex. I can't get out. I notice that I'm not really here, the maze is in my head. I'm fighting for myself, my sanity. But everyone's a little mad aren't they?
