Out

there is no way out
every escape route
just takes me back again
to the middle of it all
right in the center
where i always fall
victim, a prisoner
of the mind
shaking the bars that
i'm caught behind
clawing at the walls
searching for relief
get me out of here
it's a pain beyond belief
i am driving myself
out of my mind
trying to get out
of my mind

Nicely described... Been there too many times during the first half of my life... If first half was pure torture; 2nd half's been almost pure pleasure! Lucky me... Here's to your talented pen, Robin. ~ Halfway there
