In the Making: Behind a Locked Door

Sunday, October 21, 2007

I've been living behind a locked door;

Though I found the key a while ago

Fear and comfort kept me inside

Telling me it's safer to hide.

So I pretended to be on the other side

And it seemed to work perfectly fine.

But I knew I wasn't whole

Someone told me there is more.

Something inside me wanted to soar.

So I picked myself off the floor

And decided to open that door.
