TUNNELS

My mind explores, ever deeper,
the corridors of confusion.
Passers-by offer no direction;
as I have stopped them many times
and asked.

Instead, they return only blank, uncaring stares.
I wander still,
alone, farther into the darkness of my world.
Each step hardens my soul,
and teaches me distrust.
I am alone,
as I always have been.
Alone.
