We all look for the exit ramp
When we get stuck in the traffic of our mind
We look for an escape or a shorter route
A path that is easier, forgiving and kind
The problem with taking that exit ramp
It is difficult to back up or turn around
Once we leave the original path
We are committed to the new road we have found
Our hands perspire as they grip the wheel
The exit ramp is within our sight
If we leave this road that we have traveled for so long
What kind of changes will we now invite?
We may be a little lost at first
Afraid we have taken a wrong turn
But the new road has so much excitement to offer
So many unknowns and lessons to learn
Think about the road upon which you are traveling
Does it still inspire the dreams in your heart?
If not, maybe you should get off at the next exit ramp
A new road may mean the hope of a new start
