Welcome to My Poetry Site
Through The Doorway I Was Shown
Locked inside my indecision,
death opened up the door
And let me look inside my fear,
which I hated and abhorred
The view not half as frightening,
as the stories others lied
And its arms extended toward me,
standing frozen-heart denied
My steps then hesitated,
and its threshold wasn't breached
As I watched the door shut slowly,
todays verdict now impeached
But a key was thrown out to me,
unlocking things I've yet to know
Of a still uncertain future,
through the doorway I was shown
