Greek Tragedy

I thought that I was Theseus

And the world was a maze for me
To escape.
Either through wit or through death.

I thought maybe I could be a hero…

A hero…

One who overcomes his obstacles
Only to realize,
Solely,
I thought that I was Theseus.

But in fact…

I was the Minotaur.
No more a man than a beast
No more a beast than a sinner.

Whose world was the labyrinth,
But the labyrinth was not the world.
Just a cage.

An obstacle not to be overcome,
But to become overwhelming.

For me to wander.
For me to wonder.

Still thinking I could be Theseus.
