Locked Beside Me
I can't seem to pass through this door...
There appears to be no more floor.
I struggle.
I falter.
I fall to the ground
but
I can't get up.
I slip.
I fight.
I have to be strong.
I have to go on...
I have to believe.
I must succeed.
I have to forage through darkness to
unveil the sunshine.
The measured knot that binds me down
is embroidered with gold and glittered with bows.
The emperor's crown maps the road.
His throne beholds the vaulted treasure.
The key is before me.
The lock is behind me
The door is above me... while the answer
I seek is inside me.
