Labyrinth of Life
How do I navigate this labyrinth of life?
With walls closing in, suffocating my soul,
I search for answers, for a guiding light.
My gaze rests upon a distant horizon,
Where hope seems elusive, held by an unseen force,
Lost in a haze, consumed by confusion.
In this state of paralysis, I stumble,
Against the relentless whispers of time,
Immobile, dazed, and lost in the rumble.
My mind, a fragile vessel of perception,
Weighed down by the burden of choices,
Uncertainty clouds my every decision.
The future appears indifferent, emotionless,
No solace, no respite, only the pursuit of truth,
My existence, a servant to life's vastness.
In the echoes of memories, I find my voice,
Yearning to connect, to be understood,
Aching for someone to guide me, to rejoice.
I tread this path of fruitless endeavor,
In the void of destiny's murky seas,
Alone, as the mysteries of tomorrow I endeavor.
Once more, I stand at the crossroads of fate,
Where all roads converge in harmony or strife,
My choices, my shadows, together they wait.
