There once were days

Where there were infinite ways

I could go in life,

But all this strife

Has got me lost.

More doors seemed to open

With every move I made,

But now,

They’re all being slammed shut

In my face.

It’s a race against time,

Trying to find my path

Before all the doors close,

But I can’t see any

Open ones.

_Have all my options been_

_Exhausted?_

_Am I_

_Doomed?_

All these paths

I once wanted to take

Are now unavailable,

The doors slammed shut

With a loud bang,

One that rings

In my ears,

In my mind,

A screeching sound that lasts

For years.

_Ring,_

_Ring,_

_Ring…_

__

_Screech, _

_Screech-_

__

_Stop!_

__

Tears flood down my cheeks,

Tears that’ll flow for weeks,

I lost my chances

To make it right,

Now my future’s bleak,

And I may never again

See the light.
