LABYRINTH

Everyone who's ever met me
Says I've put up a thousand walls around me
To keep out people trying to make connection
Well, that's just a half truth
In your perspective, you see countless walls
If you look at the bigger picture, you'll see 
That they're not what you think they are
In actuality, it's a massive maze
And only the ones dedicated, or wanting 
Can find and enter through the entrance outside
Go through the paths, take every corner
Turn on the dead ends as you inch even closer
And find me, who's in the middle of it all
So no, I haven't put up walls
That I'd need to tear down 
I've set up an intricate labyrinth
One that filters out the ones who care about me
From the ones who don't care enough to try
Look for me, o beloved
I wait for you at the dead center 
Let the struggle make your intentions known
I need you to show me
A way out of my own labyrinth 
Take me out of this trap of my own making
Show me how to open up again
