DOOR

God, my head hurts so bad
But not as much as my soul

I'm heading down a dark corridor
With only a dead-end in sight, but...
Is that a door?

Sometimes I lose my feet
And next thing I know
I've taken forty steps back
And returned to where I began
My comfort-zone

But the bliss of this place is an illusion
Where I'm constantly distracted
By a false solution
Told I'm doing fine, that I'm winning
But I'm losin', losin'

Losing myself to myself
Putting my conscience high on a shelf
To be forgotten

God, my head hurts so bad
But not as much as my soul

When I stand, if I stand
To begin again down that dark hallway
It will be the brightest day
As that place becomes a ghost

When I reach that door, if it exists
I will open it with a bit of effort
But nothing compared to the thousand steps
It will take to have the knob within my grasp

Anxiety, pain, and fear are no longer
I am home
