every maze has an exit

as far as I know

As a measured step, I must confess

lately I've felt lost in a maze,

as if walking through a fog in a daze.

Hence, please allow me to say, I understand all too well

feeling deceived, and displaced.

You can take it from me or don't.

But I truly believe sometimes it's okay

to leave behind all that you know.

I willingly confess, now that I’m free,

it’s only now that I see

how much I have grown.

If ever you encounter a fork in the road

unsure which way to go,

remember, every maze has an exit.

Quite often, I highly suggest it.

After an initial meeting,

express concern your time is fleeting

because it’s not for them, only you, to accept

your time is precious

that is why every maze has an exit.
