Labyrinth

Rolling through the marble maze
Every decision made in haze
Always going different ways
Rushing wildly
To an unknown destination
Predetermined and hidden
Awaits my confrontation

Difficult to say the least
If I find life I unleash my inner beast
And begin my carnivorous feast
The snaking paths of Escher
Leading and misleading
I can't tell the truth apart
Feet blistered and bleeding

I shuffle through the sands
I try to fall on my hands
But my whole body lands
Hope surrendered
I can't find my way
In this Labyrinth
My body will decay
