Caught in the labyrinth
Memories hiding
crevices unseen
keep one winding,
running in circles
exit past finding
The premise, the promise
the trap to stalled within,
never arriving
The embrace of the open sea
and the sun above it inviting
An Icarus or I
however diligent
yet fail to keep from flying
too close to the sun of ambitions
and risk drowning in the sea of regrets
Caught between the sun and the sea
the frail wings of sanity
will at once come undone
The flight to freedom
also becoming
the fight to annihilate
the labyrinth of the mind
that keeps one rotting
in the rut of memories
knowing, unknowing
