I flounder in a maze, fazed and uncertain of my worth -
a dearth of resolved portions to my personality -
a valid driving licence, but grave doubts
on the stoutness of the car to carry me through to my goals.
I'm bold enough to climb the crags of ambition,
but I'd wish the supportive back-up of society's blessing,
pressing me ever upwards, with strong nets
stretched below me in the luckless event of a fall.
It's all or nothing now - I'm on my own -
they're showing me they're not my allies in this affray.
Betrayed or abandoned? - it matters not - I'm pinning
the individualist's pennant to my splendid mast.
The world I know not being on my side,
I must expect to get a bumpy ride!
