Every day feels like a maze
I'm trying to escape
But once I tear down the walls
I'm in sand box
That goes on and on
No shade covering me from the sun
No fruits growing to Feed the pain gnawing at my stomach
I am lost
This time there's no way to get out
I tore down my only protection
And left ignorance behind
I walk upon the hot sand
That burns into my memory
No one ended my misery
I just discovered what was really on the inside
I had beauty surrounding me
Yet I had to find a way away from it
So I destroyed all the walls
That kept me inside between turns and dead ends
Leaving only cinder and ash
To remind me of the Eden I grew up in
My maze someone left me
As a gift of ignorance
Yet I tore it down to get away
From something I should never be
The beauty and magic it held
What they hold me as
What they hold against me
I could never live up to it
So I burned it down
Almost Every single branch
Except the one that held my pride
But now I lose it to sand
As it digs deeper and deeper for shade
Trying to find water to drink
And air to breathe
A maize that led me to the middle
Everyday
I never understood what it meant until
I went back
And saw a shape
The shape of my heart
I ruined it
And I sit alone As I thought I was
Yet I always had the maze
Now only sand to comfort me
Maybe the sand can lead me to water
To the ocean
Where I long to be
Able to forget about worries
Yet it is not possible
It can not be
For every solution
Has a problem
Starting with me.
