Perplexed

Bumbling around in the dark,
Ever searching for the daylight,
Trying to find some passageway,
To get back to the light of day...

Then I see it, bright and enticing
I float over to see if it is real,
It lights the world from the inside out...
I figure that must be the passageway,
Back to the light of day...

Closer and closer I get,
I can feel the warmth, so inviting
I am mesmorized as I go up
to enter the passageway,
and get back to the light of day...

Then ZAP! Now burned I fall to the ground
in the darkness, paralized, unable to get up again.

I thought it was the way back to the land of the light...
I only got burned and now I lay in the dark perplexed.
