Lost in a maze within myself, I have no map
I am antimatter stuck in an ion trap
I�m imprisoned in me, and I lack the key
For my own good I will never be free

I am stuck in a maze within a maze
Continual iterations will never clear the haze
Rolling mist misdirects my path
Cloudy confusion with undirected wrath

Piles of puzzle pieces that do not fit
Not even when commanded by omnipotent wit
And they fade away and reappear
When ever to them my hand is near

Then success is closer as two become one
Until another pile emerges so I�ll never be done
Taunting me with the sight of my goal
But blocking the exit with a gaping hole

Nerve impulses cant escape from my mind
There is a black hole keeping my thoughts entwined
Causing confusion but never pandemonium
Fueling my desire to escape like plutonium

If I could ever calculate the full value of pi
Then the escape route would find my minds eye
Or maybe I should try to calculate e
Only then will I be able to flee

Solve x^n +y^n =z^n where n is greater than 2
When this is completed my sentence through
But x y and z are not one and the same
And they must be whole if you to play the game

Oh this is simple you probably say
Well if it is, show me the way
And do it quickly before I am gone
Show me your mental brawn

Because I can�t do it I�ve tried many times
It�s made me crazy and reverted me to rhymes
My judgment is clouded I�ve been stuck so long
I can no longer stand being wrong

Stuck on this island of circular thought
Who is to judge what is real and not
Is it an exit or a worse snare
Its an endless game of solitaire

Am I winning or am I losing
Time will tell only after choosing
Then its too late, or maybe I�m safe
No matter what, I am always a waif1

My escape speed must be slightly greater than c
All I need to do is turn into pure energy
Then I�m still stuck in this dizzying dark maze
Eternally looping through an endless craze

Accelerating circling through a spheroid joint
My momentum will carry me through the omega point
Then what will I do after the end
With a new universe I will begin to blend

Continually looping in and out of thought
Navigating a maze with a changing end spot
Nothing�s vacuum always sucking me in
Not ever allowing me to begin

Probing the pathways with mental instrumentation
Trying to escape my own cursed creation
But if I escape destruction to all
For I don�t belong outside of my wall

I�ll have a snickers and stay for awhile
Having no voice in my own trial
I�ll carry out my sentence with reserve
I will do nothing but observe

So eternally paralyzed I will remain
To keep the rest of the world sane
No one else will ever know
That which I am unable to show
