Slow Progression

He forges his way through destruction
Undaunted by the seemingly impossible task of escape
There are steps that are easier
Followed very closely by a barrier
Forcing his retreat to paths that are all too familiar

As time passes, his well wishers begin to fatigue
And return to their daily grind
Leaving him there to support himsef

His desire to be furthur than logic will allow
Frustrates and confuses
While his fear of continuing through the labyritnth alone
Begins to chip away at the inner-strength and confidence
He once had

There are distractions which occupy his mind for short cycles
But when the abberations relinquish
He is left alone with his own thoughts
Thoughts of what was, what was on the track to cause such a calamity
What could have been and most puzzling
What will be.....
