I'm trapped inside a maze, let me write
incase I don't make it out alive

Mama's here, little one.
Even when she's not.
Her arms are wrapped around you,
She loves you a lot.

And even when you're at your worst.

It’s been four (long) years. Yes, long - to my dismay.
Some think it goes quickly; RUBBISH! I say.

She became a beauty, like a happy country song.

Charismatic Zoe consistently bears tendancy 
of softening strangers into friends
Perhaps resulting from her relocating frequency
Her familiarity with 'all sorts' hones empathy

Tickling the ghost of her past

For sure - 
At last I'm good
At something.

The question 
On everyone's lips....
