The doors of tomorrow slammed shut today

And yet I always knew that I caused this to stay

For opportunity knocks and bangs at my door

Yet stupidly I sit and stare at the floor

The flight is my fight and bravery alludes my every whim

As though two of me exist in one which makes existence twice as grim

The assurance of peace has been the broken bonds of promise yearned

And hole meets soul in glaring contempt with each sacrifice I never earned
