If life were a maze

If life were a maze then

Why do we still dwell on

Past regrets,

Mistakes,

Opportunities gone by?

Why do we not

Release them

Free ourselves from agony,

Why do we not

Let ourselves go?

Why do we not

Throw caution to the winds,

Embrace the sky,

Channel courage,

Dispel the fear,

Step forward and just

Run

       Run

               Run

We harp on about all the

Wrong turns,

Bad decisions,

Reluctant defeats -

            Where you know

            You’re wrong -

Uncalled for insane courage at -

Continue marching forward even though

You know this is incorrect and

Unwise of you to?

We remind ourselves of

All the negativity that happened but

We don’t appreciate the

Positivity surrounding us.

Dead ends and roadblocks,

Endless and maddening,

Thwarting plans but

These plans aren’t

Set in stone.

Meeting dead ends are not

Definitely not and

Should not be

Deemed as

Failures.

Greet dead ends like

Old friends,

Take a step back

With a smile and,

Laugh as though

Both of you just

Shared a secret nobody

Knows about.

It’s time,

It’s finally time for

Us to say goodbye to

All the past regrets,

Mistakes and

Chances flew away.

The fruit is ripe,

Grab it and take a bite.

Move on, my friend.

Leave the past for

What’s gone is gone.

Take a step forward,

Breathe in deeply,

Put your hands out above,

Into the skies and

Soldier on.

Soldier on.

Ready for an adventure?

One

            Two

                        Three

Let’s go!
