What does courage mean
when you can't say
the words you mean?

What does clarity mean
when you don't mean
the words you say?

Did you say anything at all?
Nothing you didn’t already know —
at least, that’s what they say.

“Don’t question and answer yourself,”
they warn.
“It’s just circles
with tangents
that promise escape
but never really leave the center.”

Labyrinth.
Nature of madness.

I think my own reason is flawed
to make sense.

Blinded
by the light of the moment —
so yes,
I can say
it’s dark inside.
