Tied down

Confusing emotions abound,
in this life's merry-go-round
where I am and what I am now
how do I get around
this heaviness I tow?

Stone heart is no help
when sinking in one's own tears
tied down by inanity
suffocated by this insanity.

on the freeway to oblivion
my only companions, my fears,
festering wounds and mangled vision.
Why ,O why! does my steel cage rattle ?
How do I survive, this losing battle ?
How do I escape this ceaseless prattle ?
Truth and lies fuse as I hurtle,
Eyes wide as I feel so brittle.
