the door

a door — closed, under lock and key
leading to uncharted territories
exciting yet full of uncertainties
do i dare open it?
or is it better left alone?
always wondering where it may lead to
my shangrila or downfall….
a part of me wants to take a peek
to satisfy my curiosity
but we all know what happened to the cat
logic dictates to leave it locked
and throw away the key
i want to? yes. need to? no.
don’t judge me here
am just being honest

i won’t open the door — for now
but i’ll keep the key with me
so i’ll always have the option
to tempt fate or give in to my destiny.
