I stop and wonder, the locked door What is it locked for? It is certainly meant to keep me out But as to why, I have doubts Is it for my own safety I have no key? Are the inhabitants looking out for me? For if there is truly danger inside I would stay away as not to die But if that were true, why am I still here? It is not that I'm unaffected by fear Rather curiosity has made it dull And an adventurous spirit rendered it null But if there was nothing inside, empty space Surely that would put me in my place No, that is not the reason why I stand at the door, longing to pry It is not in what could be found But in letting imagination abound

The Door
I stop and wonder, the locked door What is it locked for? It is certainly meant to keep me out But as to why, I have doubts Is it for my own safety I have no key? Are the inhabitants looking out for me? For if there is truly danger inside I would stay away as not to die But if that were true, why am I still here? It is not that I'm unaffected by fear Rather curiosity has made it dull And an adventurous spirit rendered it null But if there was nothing inside, empty space Surely that would put me in my place No, that is not the reason why I stand at the door, longing to pry It is not in what could be found But in letting imagination abound
