I’m in a maze that’s overgrown
I walk and search, but all alone
The paths like days seem all the same
I’ve not a map or heart to claim

Each turn I think I might be right
But only walls again I sight
I try to climb but only fall
The right way out, I can’t recall

I’m trapped and maze around me grows
I’m numb but no one really knows
I yell but who will hear my plea?
I’m deep within the core of me

I pass the window of my eye
Wading through the tears I cry
Finding it so hard to see
The good things that might come to me

I’m lost and don’t know where to go
I search for answers I don’t know
Met by just another wall
And obstacles that block it all

In the maze that life did build
Every path so question filled
Every wall that blocked my view
Every turn of what to do?

Ever growing, ever lost
Pathways that I often crossed
In my thoughts which seem a haze
Lost within the growing maze

Only hope that as I walk
A guide within my head will talk
Showing me which way is out
How to turn the luck about

But the maze does grow and grow
Nothing but life truths I know
Finding I must walk each day
Dare the maze and find the way

Wonderful !  
  
Only hope that as I walk
A guide within my head will talk
Showing me which way is out
How to turn the luck about

But the maze does grow and grow
Nothing but life truths I know
Finding I must walk each day
Dare the maze and find the way

Walk on, dear brother,and know that each crossroad you come to...the one you take will be the one you needed.   And that the next message you need will  ALWAYS  come...exactly where you are.
I thank you for the blessing this poem has given me.
