Closed doors

There will always be doors that are closed to us 

And multiple ways to respond: 

By walking away, knocking, or hammering;

 Using a battering ram or blowing it up; 

Figuring out who has the key 

 And befriending them — 

 Or pretending you’re someone you’re not 

In attempt to gain access 

 (Rarely the wisest of choices.) 

The important thing to remember is this: 

That closed door doesn’t reflect on you, 

Or make you less of a person.
