Forest in my Mind

Lost in the forest
Trees all around
No glimmer of light
No movement or sound

My body now trapped
In a tangle of weeds
As I twist and I turn
And try to break free

With no clear direction
For me to proceed
I just take a guess
And hope I succeed

The thoughts in my head
Are the weeds that bind
For this forest of fears
Resides in my mind
