Me Maze

I am a Maze

I raise the walls
To block the treasure;
My most prized possession.

Many want it,
But only one can have it

If you try,
I warn you,
Be careful;
I am more complex,
With every step.
Forever changing,
To no extent.

The walls will move;
Some will rise,
Some will fall,
Move ahead
Or go behind,
So,
Keep up.

There will be obstacles,
Try to pass them,
Cause,
If you misstep,
You’ll sure regret
For you’ll be lost forever.
In a world of no content,
Between a rock
And a hard place.
Still want to play?

I suggest,
Following the path,
If encountered with a dead end,
Turn back and try again.
Do not try cutting through,
For,
There will no longer be a you.

If you sincerely want the gem,
You must adapt,
And become one
With the labyrinth,
With the crazy twists and turns,
Hills and valleys,
Suns and moons.
And soon,
You‘ll find your way
You’ll find the center.
A place more beautiful,
And yet more terrifying,
Than you ever imagined.
But if it’s you,
You’ll find your pain,
Be recompensed.

Whoever succeeds,
Shall be called an artist,
For it is truly an art
To get to my heart.
