Winding through the alleys of my life

somewhere it seems I've lost the plot,

turned a corner to a real dead-end

How did I get trapped in this dull spot?

Back-tracking does not fix this static state

another corridor runs into a wall.

With hope I start down yet another path

but end up in another useless stall.

Always struggling in this web enclosed,

walls on walls encountered fill my days,

perplexing impasse blocking out success.

Where is the map to this eternal maze?

Within this labyrinth round I go,

no matter where I turn it is the same.

Outside there's choice, free to explore,

inside my life continues limping, lame.

Is there none to lead me to a gap,

to open out the confines of this space,

expand horizons to exotic fields,

a different life lived in a different place?
