Array ( [sid] => 51460 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => my door [time] => 2004-06-11 16:17:14 [hometext] => someone had asked me why i go into my room and lock myself in all the time..and i ended up writing this. doesn't explain why..but..it's..well..please read..lol [bodytext] => my door stays shut,
locked and bolted
noones seen the other side.

I know that this
can't last forever
i have to open up someday,
and let somebody in.

It's not that i don't want to.
It's just a matter of fear.
fear of unacceptance
and of vulnerability.

I think that i am ready now,
to take a risk
and learn to live.

so if you're ever passing through
feel free to stop on by.

and if you knock but nooone answers
please be sure to knock again.
I've been locked inside for
so da** long,
i'm probably burried deep within.

so forgive me if
it takes some time
to make it to the door.

but whatever happens,
don't give up,
I promise i'll be home.
I need you to stick around,
don't leave me to myself.

It's getting hard to breath in here,
please help me unlock the door. [comments] => 8 [counter] => 167 [topic] => 61 [informant] => purplestary [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )

thats cool how you used a reality as a metaphore...while still talking about the door as a real thing...if that makes any sense. i understood it before i wrote it anyways...at any rate, good poem. i really like this. keep it up and don't let fear hold you back.

I'm glad that you've realized that you're fear shouldn't keep you from living life.

I think that i am ready now,
to take a risk
and learn to live.

I liked those lines. Good luck getting to the door. I know you'll find the strength. Good poem. It was very heartfelt!

I liked this poem. I like the way you have used an extended metaphor to describe your feelings and situation and i think the last two lines sum it all up well.

Wow, what a great poem......you will always be all right PS because you are truthful with yourself! Never stop being true to you, and the you soar to the skies with little adeu'
Your door is going to open even wider after you gain your self esteem back. That's always what negative mothers aim for.....is your self esteem........and then when you find you are not so bad.......the door opens wide to let everyone in.
I'll be knocking one of these days to bring you nothing but love and hugs and encouragement!

Hi. Remember me? I snuck in through the window a while back and got lost. I’ve been living in the closet. It’s good I found you, I’ve got shovels. We better hurry someone said cookies.
