We have all had times in life where we feel the most vulnerable, most insecure, and most sensitive. This is an excerpt from one of those times I had years ago.

* * *

My mind is that of a corn maze,

One that I built and know the way out,

Only I know not which path to take.

You see I made a path for every idea, every thought, and every action that I've ever made,

Yet I also made an out, an exit for every scenario.

I wish I knew how to make a path for it all to be fixed,

I wish I didn't have to try so hard for so little.

I've done stupid things with my life,

Thought I've ruined it at times,

Only thing I've been able to complete in life is the terrible,

I have managed to ruin friendships and relationships.

How is it that I've done everything people tell me to do and I'm the one that gets nothing in return?

The one person I met that is the light in my darkness,

She is so close yet so far,

She is close in reality yet so far from reality.
