The door that closes itself

Do not regret on your decision after its done. It may block your eyes from seeing the other opportunities.

The Door That closes itself

The door was opened for a while.

The door with a silver outline,

a golden light emerging from inside.

From something that was too bright for my eyes.

I didn't know what the light was,

whether a trap or precious treasure.

I was in a confusion, dilemma.

So I didn't take a leap.

I took too much time on thinking

before it started to close!

I tried to hold it. But my hands

couldn't find the grip.

It closed at last, blocking the golden light

leaving the darkness in front.

I stared at the void for a long time,

so that I missed the other 5 doors

those were opened for me!!

Hesitation is one of the biggest mistakes we make as humans… life happens fast and we miss opportunities when we take too long deciding our destiny.

Wy the way the first line of the second verse should be "I didn't know what the light was" or you could say "I never knew what the light was"

I like the message in this poem and it's true that sometimes we focus on one thing at the expense of everything else. Nicely done. Penny

Hard wisdom to learn and understand. We can't make all people happy and sometimes we will pissed people off. I like the good thoughts and wisdom in your words. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Very wise.Life is full of opportunities and we must be careful that we don't miss out on them while just keeping our eye on just one :)
