The Door
We all have a door.
A door that when people knock, we can let in.
A door that we can push people out as well.
Once you exit the door, it's hard to re-enter.
Especially when the owner of the door made you exit.
So, please.
Keep me in.
For God's sake keep me in.
I can only push and shove against you so long before it gets
tiresome after every attempt to shove me out.
I understand how this is though; this,
thing
consumes you.
It takes the best part of you and pushes it
not just out the door, but in a black bottomless pit where
all the happiness can never even try to return.
It ***** up everything good you have in this world
and makes it all seem wrong. You keep all the bad
which it morphs itself into words you say to yourself
and the muscles in your body to give you that
ability to push people away.
But please, with all you can,
don't push me out.
If you do, I'll understand. And I'll try to stay
with all the strength I can muster up,
because I did this to you once, and now
I understand how it feels to be this alone.
But please, don't push me out for long,
because I want to stay.
But I'm not that strong to take you on.
The bad things keep getting stronger and
I'm afraid I won't be staying.
But I won't give up without a fight.
I'll fight even when my armor is broken
and my muscles are tired.
I won't give up.
I just won't.
If you see this, I'm not giving up. You might be, but I won't.
