Removing the Lock From My Door

I knock at the door of my questioning Wondering if I should let myself in Will I be a hospitable guest Will my questions eviscerate me I have known myself to be my greatest nemesis Therefore I fear Being alone with myself in the dark I prepare my room Open the windows Allow cold air to permeate my sanctum For I wish to be alert I turn on the lights For I wish to see I do not wish to be distracted by me The knocking Becomes more persistent With beating heart I walk across the room Feeling my breath catch in my throat As sweaty hands reach for the lock Opening the door just a crack Yet I push past myself like a breeze Wondering why did it take so long To let myself in. There in front of me A table and two chairs I sat here And I sat there The one of me Was now a pair We did not need to say a word We listened intently and we heard No secrets exist within one mind The veil lifted no longer blind I smiled And I smiled back at me Suddenly another appeared There were three of me Past me Present and future me The one I was The one I am The one I am destined to be So we joined hands Together I prayed Fear of myself It began to fade Some questions have no answers So I let them fade away I've come to accept that's perfectly okay No reason to reside in yesterday For both Yesterday and tommorow live inside of me Yet it is here and now that I need to be I am Yes I am willing to be Present and free
