A Peek Behind The Veil

Going Nowhere

Chance binds me to this place
Survival overrides ambition and comfort
Living in disorienting misery
Frantically looking about for a landmark
Yes, that is the one
That's where I would like to go
Muscles tense, paralyzed
Fear mixed with mind control
Traps my indecision suppressed soul
I stare in that direction
Spiraling in my fluctuating thoughts
Wondering how I might take a single step
Taking a seat where I stand
Succumbing to the implanted will
Another defeat, a day gone by
Drowning in the sea of variables
