Notes About The Poem
This poem was created for a Duel challenge on July 5th 2026.

A Door Opens

When a door opens to a broken soul
And we take a peek inside,
We can see reflected the sort of pain
We often try to hide.

We can find ourselves in periods of time
Where all doors seem to close.
We did not bring this on ourselves
So we start to feel morose.

Just when we feel trapped and alone,
A slither of light is shone.
Mesmerised, we follow it...
A door opens. Just the one.

Only the door frame separates us
From the possibilities
Of where this open door leads to.
We feel excited, yet at ease.

A door opens to transition,
To the path leading ahead.
This opportunity is to embrace,
Though unknown, it's not to dread.

Take a breath. Then take a step
Through the open door.
Immerse yourself in your future
And the things that are in store...

But if for now the doors are closed
Then know this to be true,
It's when you're at your lowest point
A door opens for you.
