The Closed Door
The Closed Door
Shut the door
Locked it tight
Kept at bay
All that will ignite
The flame inside
Barely a flicker in sight
There is no silence
Behind the door
For the voices of my thoughts
Are loud and worn
Too many voices yell at me
Telling me what should or shouldn’t be
Is there wisdom behind these voices?
Or are they just critics of choice
My desire is to lock them out
Allow me to discover what I am about
Too much to ask at this date
However; it is dangerous to hesitate
Knock all you want
I will not answer your call
Leave me be
Until I decide to stand or fall
