The Dreaded Door

The Dreaded Door   I can hear it creaking squeaking as though hungry for oil a lubricating gel would help the sound of it straining grates on my thinking but, I have to push that door open the answer is on the other side   somehow, I find comfort in the cacophony of desperate contemplation my mind trapped in a padded room that doesn't absorb echoes how is that? in spite of the racket, the room is safe   what's and why's and wherefores dance an unsynchronized dance or perhaps, it is a simple riot doubt, fear, anger, cowardice trying to get in step still the rusty door looms   I've opened that door before oh yes, indeed I have I've even entered blindfolded I've entered drunk I've entered in arrogance I've entered in stupidity                            decisions, decisions…

Writing Prompt Write a poem that describes what is behind the door. Any type of poetry welcomed.
