Lost in the confines of my mind
trapped in life's maze
Each turn finds another wall
which I try hard to avoid
Claustrophobic images haunt me
personal space growing smaller
Fear grips my very soul
breathing quickens
To the point of total panic
chaos paralyzes me completely
Freedom seems impossible
afraid I will pass on imprisoned forever
A puzzle with no solution
nothing can be harder in life than this
Finally moving again
one step at a time
Working my way through eternity
focusing on one answer, then another
Realizing why no one understands
my problems seem worse than theirs
Blind to no ones soul
except my own

i feel you have done very well in expressing in this poem. It' real and chunky with the fiesty emotion that in the ends shows a winner.
good luck in the contest.
Dolores.
