Take a journey in my mind,

a tunnel from time to time.

Twists and turns,

lessons learned.

A straight path it is not,

second guesses often wrought.

Exits appear left and right,

but always missed by my sight.

It’s path does it narrow,

my sanity is harrowed.

Squeezed and suffocated,

my life becomes fated.

In matters of love and life,

caught in never-ending strife.
