Behind this door Carved from angels above
Deep within my being, Deep within my mind.
Behind this door is everything I want to be
Deep within my roots, Deep within my soul.
Behind this door is every happiness I've been looking for.
Deep within my depression, this could be the cure.
Behind this door is the love I've never had.
Deep within my desires, This could be you.
Behind this door could be heaven on earth
Deep within the plush bright clouds, this could be it.
Behind this door could be a parallel universe.
Deep within distorted eyes, Deep within the mind.
Behind this door carved from angels hands
Painted with their gorgeous sadness...
knowing this is where my hardships end.
This is where my life begins!
No more years of tears and corrupted society.
It's over, this is it...
I open the doors.
Hands shaking reach the cold thin handle
anxiety fills my heart than sinks
for all my life I've been waiting
to step into the dark obis that could be eternal solace...
I walk forward and forever I fall.

Many possibilities and only one truth. The last line got me. I like the "cold thin handle" very effective! Thank you for your entry!
