Trapped in a Cave

This cave in which I roam is dark and damp

with depth yet claustrophic and narrow

for I feel the trickling ceiling's cramp

piercing my flesh and rotting my marrow.

I do not know where this jagged path leads

or if I shall ever leave its confines

but I hope my escape attempt succeeds

and I am free of atrocious designs.

Do I wish to get to the centre

and find meaning in this tiresome long hike
or find some new area to enter

where I am in sceneries which I like?

This cave in which I roam is dark and damp

so I will give this route a revised revamp.
