Trapped

Wondering around this path again

Wondering who’s truly a friend

Life cycling endlessly around me

Repeating lessons, new ones floating in free

Where do I go from here? How do I move on?

Where do I go now that the walls are gone?

Demons from the past always there haunting

As I move forward, staring and taunting

Everyone telling me what I can and should do

Where I’m headed I wish I knew

Show me the way, I think I’m lost

Trying it on my own has dearly cost

Gaining freedom ever so slowly again

Only to have the past rear its ugly head

I wish I knew my path in life

So tired of all the fighting and strife

What path shall I take?

Prefabricated, on my own, shall I make?

I wish I knew my way around in here

So tired of being trapped by my own fears
