Opening the Door
By Lynn White
I drew up the blinds
and looked out
to where the daylight,
exposed all
before me.
I slid the bolt open
and unlocked the door.
I hesitated
but I knew
it was time
to leave this room
to leave this place
to leave the shadows
to put aside my doubts
to open the door
and leave my fears
behind me.
