The shut door in front of me isn't locked
But it's shut and I won't knock Every scenario played out in my head a hundred times I just can't bear to be denied The next door is the same as the first I can't seem to change this curse I walk away, eyes to the floor It's been a while since I've seen that door It's four walls now A tiny window for me to see A glimpse of the living What I failed to be |

In my poem the door was shut but not locked. It leaves a bit of hope for those who only see closed doors. Not taking a chance is what leads to the walls caving in. Now, if only I could take my own advise.... |

"The shut door in front of me isn't locked"
"I just can't bear to be denied" "I can't seem to change this curse" "It's been a while since I've seen that door" Hi WOWY, what makes your write so gripping to me... "you can't bear to be denied"... but.. instead of knocking... perhaps the unlocked door is just waiting for you to push it open... mayb the one inside is stuck within those walls not knowing how to reach out or accept either.. Love your work.. |

Love your work.. Thanks AthenaRose2. I think I wrote about missed opportunities in our lives which I think many of us have had. I wish you and I happiness and a loving partner if that is in the cards. Thank you for your kind words |

The shut door in front of me isn't locked But it's shut and I won't knock Every scenario played out in my head a hundred times I just can't bear to be denied The next door is the same as the first I can't seem to change this curse I walk away, eyes to the floor It's been a while since I've seen that door It's four walls now A tiny window for me to see A glimpse of the living What I failed to be I'm with sinner on this one, wow. Kind of depressing but still very good. |
