Trapped But Not Caught!

In the midst of any situation
I am slowly being kept by mere oppression
Looking down to any location

I stand, Oh I stand here
Trying to listen to anything which is sincere
Holding on to what's dear
Only but fear

Trapped between two roads diverged
No longer am I encouraged

Here and now
Unaware of how

Fear has been bestowed upon me
Anxious for me to see
How do I become free?

The dark
Has made its mark
Not even the slightest of a spark

Though black is all around
I, I still stand my ground

Not long before I fought
A way out is what I sought
