I walk through these open doors
Not knowing what lies before me

Is it good
Or is it bad

Inside the first
There is only bad

A pain so strong
It makes me ache

All the sorrow
Of a lifetime
As if frozen into eternity

I walk and walk
To get to the next door

Hoping for good
To be free of the pain

I make it to the door
For I can no longer stand the pain

I open the door
And stumble through

Instantly I feel lifted
I no longer cry out
For there is no pain

There is only joy
And what is to come

I forgot all the problems
I feel renewed

I turn around
And slam the door shut
Never to walk through again
