I Can't Walk Away

January 18, 2011

Sometimes we close the doors in our lives.
Sometimes they are closed for us, closed on us.

I've heard the old cliche;
I've even been known to use it now and again.

And still, here I stand,
Transfixed
Drawn
Paralyzed
Trying to get back to where I used to have
choice. Opportunity. Time.
Behind that closed door.

And I just can't walk away to find
the new door.

  3. I hope things are okay. Is there a window nearby, maybe?

  4. Sometimes we're not meant to walk away.

    Then, run and don't look back.

    Or, stay to wonder for another day.

  6. This sounds a bit stifling. When I have felt like this in the past, I had to stop everything and get off the merry-go-round to reflect and make decisions. I don't do well with noise and confusion around me. It is good to write as you are doing to see what is going on inside.
