Doors
I’m in the hallway of a thousand doors
Each door has a different obstacle behind it
Some knobs disappear if I take long to open them
Some doors in the hallway have cement covering the doorways
Other door are already cracked open to enter
I’m still in the hallway of a thousand doors
One door designated to high school graduation
Another door for the dedication
Of my college dream of aerospace engineering
Now I see Rolls Royce jobs appearing
Wealth and my own family nearing
I’m still in the hallway of a thousand doors
Scared to open the doors were behind, I hear gunshots killing my generation
I run as fast as I can from that door and trip into the failure door
Everything in this door is wrong
Dropout, children, drugs, EBT
Is the door they want me to take
Yet, I’m still in the hallway of a thousand doors
Each room has obstacles that are life changing
But life will not change
If I’m still in the hallway of a thousand doors
