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?
