TRAPPED

A Dark Period of my life

Darkness

The doors are closed

There is no way out of this maze

Down winding dark paths where sharp stones lie

I with my trusting eyes

Go

 

Corruption

The ball is rolling

Faster and faster after me

The evil gurgle of the whirlpool's call

Is a warning bell to me

As the dark waters swirl and bubble

Over innocent heads at sea

 

Evil

The web is beginning to grow

Grasping, reaching for me

I cannot fight… I am too weak

Yet I know that I must break free

Or forever be trapped in this dark dark maze

And forever seek to be free

 

Destruction

My pattern falls apart

As I sit and watch

Each well-formed square

Crumble to dust, mere dust

 

Trapped!

I am trapped behind heavy doors

Battering to be let out

Hammering my fists till they are bruised and sore

Praying for eternity

I've just read a second time. This time I am taken with this line: 'My pattern falls apart'. Like it. Makes me think of a DNA pattern or a dream disintegrating.

You capture the nightmare of despair perfectly here.
