Fears, like ghosts only haunt our hearts
\nAnd cause us strife when we live
\nIn the shadows –trapped between
\nWhat is wrong and what is right.<\/p>\n
\u2028We close our doors tightly and turn out all the lights.
\nWe fear monsters might be knocking on the other side —
\nOr maybe hate and scorn and a life full of hopeless plight.
\nMaybe, or maybe it\u2019s a life full of happiness and delight from which you hide.<\/p>\n
But instead you stare at the hands on the clock,
\nAnd never open that door,
\nNever answer that knock.
\nLife, lived like that, abandons all hope in this world for more.<\/p>\n
So, still your frantic heart from imaginary fights.
\nStop hiding behind your iron door.
\nHope. It always abides in the fresh air and truths bright light.
\nJust breath deep and calm your troubled mind, then, throw open your door. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
