Open That Door!

There is that place in your mind

That memory

or future

regret

or choice

That door you may open

The door you won't open

The door you can't open

Don't ever

ever

open the door.

Behind the door is anxiety and pressure and sadness and angerandterrorandshame

The door is locked with fear

of what you will face

of what you must do

if you open that door

So don't ever

ever

open the door.

See? This is what your mind says. A little bit broken, your mind says.

Don't open the door.

Don't go into that place of memory or future or regret or choice.

Hide from the door. Pretend it's not there.

The place of anxiety and pressure and sadness.

Anger and terror and shame.

See? This is what you must overcome.

These are words in a bottle, sent spiraling into the void. A call into a snowstorm.

Who will hear them? Maybe nobody.

Who needs them? Maybe nobody.

But for the nobodies out there, a reminder to you. Open that door. Shatter the shackle of fear.

The door may lead to darkness shame terror anger sadness pressure anxiety

It might be the valley of the shadow of death.

But you don't walk alone.

Be still.

Open

that

door.
