The Doorways to the Unknown - 1. The Doorway

A poem about the future. It can happen to you at any age for any reason. Things change and you have to face the great unknown, your own future. Make your choices cause it is all up to you.

The Doorway

 

It stands before you, vast and wide

The possibilities are endless and confusing.

What has brought you to this point?

The end of some chapter of life – end of school, start of a marriage, someone died.

 

The doorway stands open and clear

A path before it branches over and over again.

What will you choose?

Will you have joy or pain? Will you be alone or with someone dear?

 

The future is unwritten, waiting for you

Like a blank page it awaits you to put your pen to it.

Will you make a good life?

Only you have the answers. Only you make the choices. Only you hold the clues.

 

Now take that first step

Though the road may not be easy it is yours.

Will you pass or fail the tests?

The only tests are the ones you set for yourself, the only failures are missteps.

 

Remember we all fear the unknown

For there lies uncertainty, doubt, and too many possibilities.

Will you be brave?

You have already taken that first step and shown your backbone.

Now go forth into the future

And make your mark upon the worlds.

Thank you so much to Mandartania for taking the time to read it first and tell me if it was worth going forward. I hope you all enjoy it.

I'm not afraid to step through! Well that's easier said than done, but your poem makes one think. Thank you :)
I think that is the point though. The future at any age is an unknown. What you do and how you do it will make your future brighter or darker. It is almost always up to you. Thank you for reading and commenting on my work Jian. It means a lot to me.
