no way out

In it for life.... inside my own mind.... adjusting in a corner to the side.... fading from the blinding light.... losing track of precious time.... along for the inevitable ride.... caught in a bind.... alone I stand n fight.... trapped within mine.... it's the only place I can hide.... yet escaping I've tried.... I'm shackled here til I die.... lookin from the inside..... outward at the prize.... with lingering thoughts intertwined.... I become me behind my eyes....
