• As I’m opening the door

    A sound grows louder

    It’s coming from inside



    The door opens wider

    The noise almost deafens me

    But it’s a noise

    A crying noise

    One from an angel



    It’s so loud, but so soft sounding

    It soothes my heart

    It soothes my mind



    I feel my troubles slipping away

    I feel nothing but pure life

    A numbing feeling

    But a feeling so at ease



    Then the door closes

    Ever so slowly

    Like it never opened at all



    I feel thankful



    For,

    I missed feeling angry

    I missed feeling sad

    I missed feeling love

    For,

    I missed being loved

    I missed being happy

    I missed being sad

    For,

    I missed having fun

    I missed having to accomplish

    I missed having to work

    But those are just a few of what I really missed

    Wouldn’t you miss smiling, laughing, and crying?

    Feeling numb or soothed never solves anything

    I want to feel everything.
