The Maze of Life

Trapped in the maze of life 
A path in my view
Looking yet nothing is seen  
Voices are yelling
Listening, I cannot hear a thing
Forces are pushing
Standing straight, I do not lean
I must break free 
If I  do what will be

Why can't I find my way
What can I do to get away
Organize the thoughts in my mind
Untangle myself from this web
Be calm and think to be freed 
Then I will find what I need

Both body and mind are strong
What can be wrong
Facts are true but feelings confused
A mind half right
The problems left unviewed
This is wanted 
Emotions left out of sight

They say let someone in
Anyone 
A relative 
A friend
Maybe they can mend
They cannot have what they seek
This battle must be fought alone
I will not be shown to be weak
