tangled knot
Troubled, 'wilder'd, and forlorn, / Dark, benighted, travel-worn, / Over many a tangled spray, / All heart-broke I heard her say
That like a mighty river onward streams / In multitudinous channels ruthlessly, / Past tangled isles and barriers of sand
Lost inside a world I never belonged / Thinking that I knew my right from my wrong / Tangled in confusion feeling my way / Living in a shadow all shades of gray
