Nothing goes right, my life is a road on the left hand side

I’m sinking, I’m drowning in a puddle of hopeless idealization and expectations

Of childhood dreams and aspirations

That will never manifest themselves

That will never come true.

I feel trapped in a labyrinth 

A dark maze through black woods

An inescapable torture, 

A never-ending ordeal 

One masked by a smile, a clever conceal.

My life is a ferris-wheel, but not the fun kind,

I can never leave.

I watch the world go on without me, 

My presence unnoticed, unmissed

My life cycles and repeats itself, 

Endless misery.
