Have you ever looked at a door?

Now I mean really looked at it,

And pondered it.

I assume that most people haven’t,

But I have,

 A door,

It marks a destiny,

A new beginning,

Not just of walking into a different room,

But entering a new world,

And abandoning the old,

Like embarking on a new journey.

Doors can keep you from going places,

But sometimes all you need is a key,

Although then again,

Sometimes you can’t get a key,

And you are faced with the option to break through,

To find a new way in,

Because if there is really something behind that door,

Something that you need,

Whether it’s your future,

Something far greater,

Or something that you must figure out about yourself,

Your deepest darkest secrets,

Then sometimes you are left with not choice but to break in.

To pound the door down,

And to force your way through.

Doors keep many secrets behind them,

Whether a messy room,

Or a secret that you hide from the world,

And sometimes,

From yourself.

But all you have to do,

Is find a way through that door.

By doing this,

You may find a new you,

A new beginning,

The person who you are supposed to be.

A door isn’t just a piece of wood on hinges,

No, it’s so much more,

So next time you walk through a door,

Think about what’s on the other side,

Is it just another room?

Or,

Is it so much more?
