Maze

Jade Jack 1992 (Canada)



am a maze.
Filled with high walls, and jagged corners.
Full of twist and turns.
Trying to misdirect and confuse anybody that tries to get too close to me.
And even when I want to let someone get to the center.
Even when I want to show someone all of the paths and turns to take.
I can't.
I don't know my way either.
Because all of these walls and corners are built out of the painful moments.
The stories I don't tell.
The things I don't say.
They are constantly shifting
And changing.
I am a maze.
But if you're patient with me.
Maybe we can find the way through together.
- Jade Jack
