The Disappearing Door

"Imagine a door..."

Imagine a door

A beautiful door

like nothing you’ve ever seen before.

I’m not going to tell you what it looks like

Because that’s up to you.

Imagine something that makes you happy

That makes you feel warm inside when you think of it.

THAT is your door.

What would be happening while you’re there?

Now this I WILL tell you.

Imagine being all alone.

In a pitch black room

Yet you can see ever so clearly

All because of the door attached to the wall

This door is bright

It calls for you.

You have no idea what you’re doing there,

How you got there,

Or how you’re going to get out of there.

All you see is this door

but that’s ALL you see.

What about the things you don’t see?

You have no idea what’s waiting for you on the other side

It could be the thing you’ve dreamed of your whole life

Or

It could be the thing you’ve have never thought of seeing,

Your worst nightmare maybe.

Keep in mind

Under all that light there is always some darkness.

Just because something LOOKS innocent and pure,

Doesn’t mean it is.

You may not know what to do

But it's up to only you.

decisions, decisions

What do you do?

Before you know it the door disappears.

Now you really don’t know what to do

You might not even know how to feel

Now you’re just in an empty, dusty, old room.

You’re heart starts racing.

That could’ve been your only way out.

Your way HOME.

Do you feel guilty?

Do you feel relieved?

Happy,

Sad,

Despaired?

You don’t know what to do

But the answer is right in front of you

It’s in you.

Imagine a door

A beautiful door

like nothing you’ve ever seen before.

I’m not going to tell you what it looks like

Because that’s up to you.

Now tell me…

Where is YOUR door?
