False Hope


one door must close

for another to open

this is what you all propose

the cycle must have broken

 

closing, closing, closing

never to be reopened

but on I must keep going,

no time for useless emotions

 

where are these adjarn doors

that you all so emphatically speak of?

here I am - broken down of the floor,

 yearning for hope from above

 

 where do I go from here?

I have nowhere to turn

the end is becoming nearer,

there's no more need for your polite concern

 

hopelessness has become more than an acquaintance,

the cycle has broken

all my doors have closed at once

and not another has opened
