Closed Door!

Closed door!

I have stood for ages
But it felt like seconds on a stage
Like a patient dog I stood
In expectancy of that best food
With the mentality that no matter how long
Patience surely will open this shut door'

I waited and waited, in hope
Praying to gain on this long rope
Sometimes, I'd push so hard on this door
Sometimes, this door I try to ignore
For I know that heavens gate would have gone wide
To reveal a flat for me on the inside!

I just wish I can walk away
And be able to look side ways
For I know that I may never walk this door
Then why can't I give up and ignore?
For I have spent ages on this closed doors and didn't see
Beautiful gates thrown wide open all besides me!

Why can't I just like a man,"stand on my feet "
And just accept this as a defeat?
And let this efforts be in vain?
For man mustn't always gain
But I can't just walk away, not in my nature!
But I hope, sincerely I hope I do in the future!
