Confusion fills me
Sadness seems to be my guide
There is no happiness anymore.
It laughs in my face
Every time I step towards it.
Forcing me back
Three steps for every one
I take.
Hanging my head in defeat
Unsure of how to overcome
The obstacles that grow
In leaps and bounds.
I search for a new path
Blind and hurt.
