door.
finding parts of myself i never knew existed
through all of it, the love in my heart persisted
it told me that whatever was shaken loose
was meant to align me with greater truth
sometimes, a small bit would fall away and leave an emptiness
eventually, i learned to deal with the dizziness
i learned to let go of the desperation that crept within my bones
that clawing, gnawing anxiety that we all have known
we fear lack of control, it scares us
but when we drop that fear, nothing can prepare us
for the sudden clearing of the lungs
we can breathe deeply again and sing the songs we once sung
some say that just trusting is foolish
believing that everything will be okay allows many of us to do this
we are broken down so many times
ripped open, torn apart just to come back to being fine
that’s why i believe that letting go of worries and fears are so crucial
the feeling of happiness and endless bliss is a desire that is mutual
for all of us at the end of the day when the sun goes down
we just want to be so sure that we won’t drown
if we want to experience the joy of smiling more
why do we shut others out and lock the door?
it’s time to press your hand firmly against the wood
gather every ounce of courage from your blood
turn the key and crack open the door
your eyes will light up when you realize that there’s so much more
a world to see, people to meet, stories to tell
a life where you’re genuinely happy and well
so close your eyes and take a deep breath
breathe in the good, exhale the regrets
it’s time to leave the heaviness behind you
and know that love will always follow beside you
you suddenly can’t explain how
but you know you’re ready now
to walk through that door.
