Labyrinth Quote by Eric Nickel
“My mind, Is, and has always been, A House of Doors, An Endless Labyrinth, Of Tunnels, Traps, Hidden Wonders, And Horrors, In equal Measure. I had for years, Wandered these Halls, Searching, Aspiring, Stumbling into traps, Pain, And endless locks. And than one day, Epiphany, In it's purest, And honest form. I myself, Had created this Maze, These Traps, Installed every door, Every single wall, Every Lock. Once I understood this, It all came down, Around me, Crumbling to dust. And now, No longer do I see a Prison, But a beautiful, Vast expanse, A vita of the exquisite, Endless beautiful possibility. Now, I pick up my brush, And begin to paint, Anything, Everything, My soul desires, For surely now, I am free.”
