Life Has Opened Its Doors

Life has opened up its doors and let me in,
It now tells me secrets,
that were often told but rarely heard.
And when it whispers them to me,
it is the loudest thing I hear,
because it only speaks truth.
So my eyes open wide,
and a smile spreads on my face,
like ripples in a pond,
infinite and everlasting.
For I have just heard a most amazing story,
a whirlwind tale about how life can be enjoyed,
how it can me made to be happy.
So with that I see everything in color,
No more dark spaces or muted tones,
Fear and doubt had run away,
scared of me.
And now confidence and belief,
course through my veins like a river gone mad.
I, now, flex muscles that I have never used,
not physically but emotionally,
not sparingly but generously.
And I have gained so much,
friends and lovers,
opportunity and success.
And lost so little but some pain,
and regret,
So today is my today,
Now is my time.
Watch and have faith,
As I become,
what I should have always been,
a great and good man.
