There’s a labyrinth that you travel through to get to me. There are walls that you get past. There are spikes. There are thorns.There are snakes. There are half men, half bulls with horns. There are ghosts. There are ghouls. There are souls. There are fools. There’s a genius with a plan, yet you cannot understand. You stumble through the wrong door, it isn’t there anymore. It was here, now it’s not. It was near, now its far. You see the front but you can’t see the back. Are you ready to attack? Or do you lack the knack. It’s skewed. It’s screwed. It’s chopped and sued. I pursued. I continue to pursue.There are mirrors in your face but there’s no time to waste. There’s a calm in your pace. There’s these mind games we play. There are times when we act like we don’t have a say or a choice. You must raise your voice. There’s the fear. There’s the pain. There’s the sunshine and there’s the rain. Where does the maze take you? I assure you, it’s worth it once it’s found. It’s so hard to handle. It’s easier to give up. Most don’t care. Most aren’t rare. Most don’t play fair. But you play the game regardless. You see the broken shards, you see the painful scars. You seek the light of truth but you get caught up in it too. You stall. You halt. You jolt. You part. You do not come together like you love one another. You don’t share the bread like you’re each other’s brothers. You’re so close boys and girls, don’t you quit. Shout it out. Let it echo through your mind. Let it reverberate. Let it shine through your body. Let it shine through your pores. Once you get through the maze, once you’re no longer in a daze. Once you have smoked all you can blaze. Once you find the right door and all the light shines right through, I assure you the pain will be worth it. Work it out. Don’t let it fade. Create this thing right here on this page. Let there be light. Fiat Lux. From one comes all and it’s all or nothing.
