A Maze in the Truest Form - A Dedication to the book Flowers for Algernon
Location
We loved each other in the truest form
She, was my everything
We overcame the initial boundaries
So why wasn’t that enough?!
Why couldn’t I stay on the highest level of intellect?
Why did I have to return back to the basic?
Back to the life initially given to me by God alone
To fight the biggest struggle
The struggle of either remaining stuck in the shadows of intellect
Or soaring through every theory known to man
I tried to find a solution for myself!
I tried to make people see!
See that there was more to “dumb Charlie Gordon”
That there was more to me
But that’s just it isn’t it?!
Life is a maze
There is no direct way through!
I shouldn’t have tried to find the easiest solution
I should have opted for a way around
As in a path less taken
A path that would have taken me where I needed to go
Into her arms for all the time that we had left
But I was too hasty, and she was too comforting
I was too cold, and she was too distant
She was trying to please me, to make me love her so much more
But didn’t she know that I had this deep found respect and love for her?
A love that would never go away
A love that meant more to me than solving some stupid lab maze
A love that consumed me, and ultimately consumed every bit of her
We were in love, in the truest form
I, was her everything
So why did it have to change?
Why did I ever want to solve the hardest maze given to me!
The maze that led me to that little glimpse of hope
The maze that provided me with a short lived life of passion and soaring intellect
The maze that led me to where I am now
The maze that is my life, my brain
The maze that is me
