Choice

I stand alone,

In a dark hallway lined with doors.

They creak open and beckon me,

Yet I don't know where to turn.

A faint light shines

From behind each door,

Yet I cannot see beyond them.

Once I step through,

And the door swings shut,

It will lock itself up tight,

And leave me trapped

In the world behind it.

What lies beyond the doors?

I cannot tell.

Whether it be good or bad,

I cannot tell.

I'm scared to take a chance

I'm scared to make a choice

I can't stay in the hall forever,

But I don't know which door to choose.

If only it were easy,

If only I could see beyond,

If only I could know

What lies behind the doors.

If only I could choose!
