Confusion

It seems as if confusion governs my life now I just can’t get away It’s become so common and frequent That I find myself rejecting anything that makes sense And even that confuses me But I’m trying so hard To find some logic in the uncanny and unethical But as I strive to overpower this plethora of confusion You’re standing downfield throwing me a throng of puzzles All I feel is frustration and emptiness And you’re no help at all Instead of putting out the fire You blow on the flames and enable them to rise Higher and higher still But you don’t stop there No, you provide and supply the fuel to ignite even more burning blazes of distress And you don’t seem to care that I’m helplessly distraught Lost in this maze This clever pattern of intricacy The exit nowhere in sight But I play along, trying to complete this complex puzzle That I unsuspectingly helped you create Still I wonder what is going on in your mind I wonder if you even realize the tedious hang-up you’re putting me through Are you purposely putting me in this predicament Or is this just some haphazard? Is this an intentional imprisonment or is it just some offhand incident? Do you find sheer pleasure in this unrelenting ordeal that I’m in Or are you just as confused as I am?
