We wander
these corridors gray
that all look the same
Like rats in a maze
continually bouncing off
blind #corners
desperately seeking
a way out
of our mundane
story line
Perhaps
the time has been reached
to close off permanently
the escape valve fantasy
and find elusive serenity
in acceptance
of this labyrinth
Or maybe
We collectively
can choose
to make a paradise
of this Hellish existence
and be grateful
we have each other still
in our shared struggles
living in a universe of walls
