Mental Constraint

My life is a maze from which I cannot escape 
Walls are closing in by the centimeter 
I have turned into a mime, trapped within myself 
No advice will serfice for the unexpected leader 

Multiple attempts to climb out of this hell hole 
Quick glances from left to right 
Nothing to grab onto to 
Assumptions of staying stagnate through the night 

No longer will I know the feeling of happiness
Life is now a shell of its former self 
Darkness has flooded my brain cells 
Long arms with the reach of a mythical elf
