Life's Doors To Opportunities

Just when everything seemed like a big farce, Sapped of energy, in the morning I woke up bruised with scars, And in broad daylight I began seeing stars, Feeling hopeless, helpless and lost. When things were at their lowest ebb, And I felt I was trapped in a spider's web, Something deep inside began to churn, And I hoped and prayed that things would turn. I realized that the world was vast, And I had given up way too fast, Assumed that there was just this one door, And with it closed, nothingness was in store. I wept that night before I slept, Awoke in the morning to greet the world, Deciding to look at things anew, With a different perspective held in view. It took a few days for the change, With new doors opening slightly ajar, I grabbed a toehold wherever I could, A few months later things did not seem bad, For my toeholds ensured new wide open doors where I previously thought none existed.
