The Door

trapped on every side
by doors which i've made
scared to face reality

this one leads to solidarity
a life for piety's sake
shall i choose the narrow
leading to the extreme
the unwantedness it brings
or shall in this moment
i choose the barred one
that lives to bring me grief

staring in contemplation
these evils before me
haunt me with their ignorant lies
for just a brief moment
the world has stopped turning
beneath magnificent eyes

beholding in splendor
the plans you have made
relishing the moment
the past beginning to fade
reaching for comfort
in a single doorknob
left not for anyone to touch
covered in immense fog

shall they ever understand
the choice i now make
as i stand before this rugged wood
i take the chance of rejection
i fear this step of faith
closing my eyes i walk forward
moving closer to the door
leading to my eternal damnation
