The Confounding Labyrinth

I like to take a walk in the maze of my mind...

I like to walk in the maze of my mind

Walking around aimlessly,not knowing what I might find

I take a turn and reach in the

Deep,dark woods of thoughts

Where the trees tower above me

A serene night actually

The owls hoot endlessly

and there I lose myself willingly

I like to walk in the maze of my mind

Walking around aimlessly,I wonder what I might find

I go forward, find myself in a scenery

of things how I want it to be

A whole new world untouched by reality

and there I lose myself willingly

I like to walk in the maze of my mind

Walking around aimlessly,I want to know what I might find

I take a wrong turn, and I stand before a wall

Built by broken dreams, shattered hopes and wasted wishes

A wall built by me which is killing me

And I lose myself willingly.

I like to walk this maze of a mind

This confounding labyrinth

I just keep walking -for you never know what I might find

The refain really works nicely with the whole concept of feeling lost in a maze

[Elizabeth]

Thank you so much for your review :)

Truly, this one is awesome..........
But in practical life its not too good to loose by mazes of fantasy....

Well, i used to roam a lot in these mazes. That's why iam saying that...
Keep it up darkmiSt, may your mist envelope everyone...

[Elizabeth]

thank you so much! indeed life is too good to lose ourselves in our personal mazes. and the sooner people realise this, the better.

[AcasualPawn]

Well its good you are aware

[Black Rose]

I doubt if there is anyone who won't be able to connect through this piece. Yes mind is a tricky place. An escape from our reality and that can lead us to some dark places which are constructed in our subconscious mind. So beware of the places you go.i won't be able to read something better than this on this(topic). Great read! :)

[Elizabeth]

Thank you so much for your kind words!!

[Black Rose]

Anytime :)

I find myself relating to this on so many levels! Our minds really are an endless mystery

I began writing poetry when I was 15. From what I gather you are now 16. As such, I want to encourage you to keep writing and to hone your craft. If it is truly your passion, you won't be able to help yourself because it's in your bones. You will write a poem, think it's profound, and 15 years later be embarrassed that you wrote it. It's not necessarily that the poem was bad, just that you have matured and gotten better. You will encounter those who are critical to be cruel, who will try to drive that passion out of you. Please don't let that happen. I can tell from your poem that you are gifted and you will continue to get better with time. Life experience heightens your writing as well. Good luck to you on your journey and may the labyrinth always lead you to amazing places.

Thank you for your words. Actually when I was in fifth grade, I used to write short stories which I used to think were really good. But when I now read it, I kinda get embarrassed with what I wrote. I wholeheartedly agree with your comment and thank you for your well wishes and compliments

The trappings of ones own mins is a tricky place... Willingly the shadow of clarity will rise... Well penned...

[Elizabeth]

Thank you so much for your review!

[Chase Dylan]

Thank you so much for the confounding twist of minds-eye... My pleasure...

I love your usage of anaphora in your writing. As usual your descriptive language creating a tiny world for us to reside in for 23 lines.

[Elizabeth]

That you so much. Your reviews make me blush!

[The earth (Titan maphah..]

Well done man... I like this one

[Elizabeth]

Thank you so much for your review!

[Nightblood]

interesting read,I don't like my maze, not a nice place to get lost

[L.C. Jarrette]

even though it is dark poetry,for me it was done pretty well. i think it reflects a depressed individual. if ever this is real,the character would be in a lot of danger. the mind is very powerful you know.

=>just expressing my honest review.

[Elizabeth]

You have a knack for understanding for exactly I wanted to say in this poem. I was actually a bit apprehensive about publishing it, because I thought it was too confusing.
Thank you for your honest words

[L.C. Jarrette]

you're welcome.
