Close that door on your anger
Still contending and defending who is to blame
Re-living all the hurt and your dark secret shame
Until it becomes a lethal toxin to your existence
Organ pipes tuned so loud, you lose all resistance
Close that door on your resentment
The festering sore that never seems to truly heal
Opening new wounds in old scabs that you peel
That thick bile that keeps congesting your chest
Until Misery’s eggs are warmly laid in your nest
Close that door on being the victim
Emotionally scarred and taken for granted
A washtub, a door mat – in your mind implanted
Time for a new way of looking at what life brings
Perhaps a different pest control to fend off the stings
Close that door on your deception
It’s nothing strange, we all hide behind our masks
Ready to please and tease the world in all that it asks
But when the sun peaks inside, someone pays the price
Of souls torn apart in a cold, steely, shredding-device
Close that door on your unhappiness
The world is filled with a myriad of magical things
Time’s too short to not breathe in all that nature brings
So many smiles lie wasted behind curtains of tears
I’ll drink a toast to you and hope you’ll say Cheers!
Close that door so that new ones may open
Here’s to you for all dreams you have been hoping!
