I Dreamt of Mazes

I once was on an endless journey
Of turning left and right 
There was bramble all around me, only
Nothing not alike.

Though none were up above me
I could not see the sky,
All except my inner strength
I had been left alone to die. 

Deserted by the moon and stars,
I was even without light,
But desperate to be free again
I braved the endless night.

Time escaped me also,
I traveled a day, a week, a year,
But my body never weakened,
Nor hunger did I fear.

Even if I neared the end
I had no way to be sure,
So I promised myself it was close ahead,
Just one more set of turns.

But the exit never greeted me,
And disappointment, it grew strong,
I had broken so many promises
My credibility was gone.

I could no longer reassure my mind,
So I faced the truth instead.
I prepared myself for eternity
And an endless path ahead.

I really enjoyed taking this epic journey with you, through your words. This endless maze, with its many twist and turns. I see your inner-strength and resilience, shine through in this piece. Even in our darkest place, when we think we're alone. Our inner-light will always shine as brightly as the stars in the night skies that illuminate our world. Loved this piece.
