A Minotaur Life is a poem written by Dana Trick and shared with The Ugly Writers with the theme Recovery for the month of March.
A Minotaur Life
Myself,
My soul, my person,
Are of two worlds—
Harmony and chaos,
Humanity and monsters,
Love and hate.
Simultaneously
Accepted and rejected,
Worshipped and shamed,
Displayed and hidden
By everyone and no one,
I go on living, breathing, wandering
Within these labyrinth walls.
My slumber is spent dreaming
Of these walls someday falling
Under the weight of a free and wild world
That I could run away to.
But that day could never come sooner.
Even then,
Though the truth mocks me constantly,
I continue living for something better.
