The Maze of Life

Trapped in the maze of life A path in my view Looking yet nothing is seen Voices are yelling Listening, I cannot hear a thing Forces are pushing Standing straight, I do not lean I must break free If I do what will be Why can't I find my way What can I do to get away Organize the thoughts in my mind Untangle myself from this web Be calm and think to be freed Then I will find what I need Both body and mind are strong What can be wrong Facts are true but feelings confused A mind half right The problems left unviewed This is wanted Emotions left out of sight They say let someone in Anyone A relative A friend Maybe they can mend They cannot have what they seek This battle must be fought alone I will not be shown to be weak
