Teens Speak--Your Turn

“The Door That Lies Before You” by Jessica (age 17)

07.03.09 | No Comments

The door that lies before you

Offers opportunity, hope, and a prosperous future

The door does not promise anything,

Only you can ensure your own destiny

The door that stands before you is a decision,

Symbolic to your future and past

What has happened?

What is yet to happen?

And the present time you are in.

Crossing through can have great risk,

But with great risk comes great reward.

If you do not risk you do not gain nor lose anything

You are untainted by knowledge of what lies beyond your present life.

The door itself

Makes no promises

It is only a door
