Lost

I am lost in a forest
of shadows and compartments
I hold the key but I see no locks
and every turn brings only more darkness

Where is the light to lead me?
Where is the path I stand on?

I have abandoned and am abandoned in turn
and only loneliness is my companion

Is there some truth somewhere?
I cannot see, cannot hear, cannot speak
and my mind races to stand still

A trap devised so cunningly
only I could do it
and succeed so well
at fooling myself

Very nice.

But ye shall be found, and it will once again be YOU that does it.

The last verse rings true for me. Losing, and as Cdog points out, finding yourself again, is probably a common struggle. Maybe THE struggle.
