Life's a Maze

by Sheena Barnes


Going round and round in a mindless circle
Can be worse than being in a dark tunnel
The repetition, the déjà vu,
The wish for a change of direction
The fear of slipping over the edge
The hopeless realisation that you are back at the beginning
And you have to start all over again.
Should you jump off and hurtle into unknown space
Or cause a circuit break and end it all?
Was it a mistake to have got on in the first place?
But about that you had no choice
You were put on the road
You just kept taking wrong turnings.
Go out and buy another map.
