Hidden Walls

Lost in a perpetual maze Caught up in an eternal haze And with no solace left to find I'm trapped here deep within my mind Brick by brick the wall erected Still my life was unaffected Till the day it all seemed clearer A closer look in the mirror A prison of my own making My sanity for the taking Each hour spent from dusk to dawn Reality was dead and gone No longer close to kin or friend The fences that I could not mend This solitude I freely chose To wallow in my fear and woes Counting down to the day I die At first I laugh and then I cry My last sane day I can't recall Those hidden walls enslave us all
