The Inner Door
Recognize what holds you back, from really being you
What inner locked door have you encountered throughout your life?
Repeating experiences, that cause you strife!
Maybe relationships that trip you along the way?
Or self-pity, you cultivate each day?
It could be something buried so deep (you’re not aware of)?
Making life a struggle, you constantly want to weep.
Confront the door that holds you back.
Stop polishing it, and drawing back.
Only you can go within, to heal what’s aching there.
Acknowledge the hurt, the fear, the trouble, lurking there.
Open it, not just a crack, but wide enough to reach the rack.
Let go that little thing, you’re always struggling through.
Heal the demon, that troubles you.
Wisdom will show you the way to heal, and feel secure.
Providing you with lifelong love, to treasure and perdure.
Allow yourself to be sincere,
With who you are, and what you fear.
Don’t ignore the knowing, that awakens you.
Open the door, and waltz right through
Giving your soul comfort, and freedom too.
