I

I looked
I saw
I entered
Into a doorway resplendent in bloom
I laughed
I sang
I danced
Till fire came, my heart consumed
In sorrow
And ashes
I wept
Then another I saw, and to it I came
I ran
I stopped
I'm scared
Of encountering again, the searing flames
Unsure
I long
I'm numb
to the castle of fear I daily live in
I breathe
I break
I sigh
Wandering the hallway of hopeless oblivion
I must
Go on
I tear
Down the walls that rebuild themselves
I work
I wonder
I hope
That my door is worth all the effort and suffering
