It's a never ending tunnel of pain
Swirling and turning and twisting
Its the millions of mirrors making me insane
Not knowing which one isnt a mirror but a door
Then it's a door that leads to another door
But takes me no where new
Instead leads me to where i was before
Not letting me take a single step
It's the never ending ladder I climb
Hoping it will take me somewhere
Maybe to another place in time
But I climb and climb and get no where
It's the maze that has no end
I just go in circles
All the walls close in and mend
Slowly making me its dinner
Its the picture with no meaning
The paint slowly dripping away
And the frame slowly leaning
Creating my optical illusion called "life"

I can totally relate to you here. These times when you are stuck in a situation and losing faith can be very difficult. Your words show that you put up quite a struggle to move foreward. When you get this way keep hoping that there is a better tomorrow! Very nice work!

Very intriguing write, it kept me interested throughout and had a unique idea. Thank you for entering my contest

Great
I felt this poem. You did a great job translating to me how you feel. Although we sometimes think nobody else has ever felt what I am feeling, I understand. Sometimes life sucks. Just remember there are great moments too. Hold onto those in your dark days.

each step up "Jacob's Ladder" is filled with 'smoke and mirrors'. With patience and perseverance you can create the life you seek. Change your perception, life will begin anew---happiness is not an evasive illusion

Very interesting and well thought out.
This is something that I can totally
relate to. Sometimes life can be so
frustrating, especially when you try
so hard and find that you haven't gotten
anywhere. Great work here my friend!
