Alone in the dark of heart and mind.
I look for a way out, to leave the past behind.
Wading through a swamp of memories
I may as well be climbing mountains and trees.
My history is dense, my future unclear
I hunt for a truth like I'd hunt for deer.
With caution I'll move pace by pace.
Take my time, I don't know what I could face.
Each new thought is another turn in a maze
I Need to find a way out of this haze.
I step into night when I need to find day
I struggle to find the right way.
My way ahead is like a scraggy wall
I'll need to take a leap of faith, try not to fall
If I can find courage, hope and sense
Maybe I'll break down this lonely fence.
I feel like I'm wondering into a dark cave
To save myself, I must be brave
To stop myself from being trapped
I can't let my energy be zapped.
I must fight to beat this confusion
Use my senses to see past an illusion.
Alone in the dark of heart and mind
To myself, I must be kind.
