The Sphynx
Location
I have limited my mind
Closed the doors and hidden
safely within my walls
The Sphynx rocking on its heels
antsy for a challenger
but alas none make it through the labyrinth
The maze that of which new things
are created but safe things
There was a time when the daring
the adventurous
would escape the walls and
float on
This new creature would challenge and confuse the Sphynx
It used to flourish and Live
until the walls were built
none shall escape the doors
the barrocks of my mind
Safety, a decision made
when ideas were demolished
rejected when they were used to praise
I have joined the many
The few have left me behind
For when the walls were built
I began to hate my mind.
