Aisha Abdelfatah Poet Prose Poetry

Stuck In the Maze

I'm stuck
        Wandering around aimlessly
                Every turn different
                        Yet exactly the same
S
        T
                U
                        C
                                K
I can't find my
W A Y  O U T

Confused...
Hurt...
Ashamed...

Every step I take
Each corner I turn
I stumble upon
M I S T A K E S

        I
        N
Hopelessness...

Everything is...

        O                        S

Words...
Actions...
Mistakes...
Lies...
All in the past
But still very much present
All destructive in their own way

I try to grasp onto happiness
But it slips away...
Creeps though my fingers like
Grains of sand.

...
Can I not hold on?
Can I not hold on a little
LONGER?
Must it go this quickly?
Must it leave me in this much pain?

So many questions...
Will I ever know the answers?

I turn another corner
It's exactly the same
I want to get
OUT
I want to be free...

But I can't.
Because I'm not stuck in this maze...
I am a part of it...
Just like it is a part of me...
