Behind the steel door.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



Behind the steel door.

As I walked into the deep forest, I could see a steel door. I was handed a skeleton key to open it. If you dare open it, you will end up crying on the floor. No man should ever see what's behind that door. But I asked myself, why, me. The horrible things that you can't believe and don't want to. It is not a dream. One positive aspect is that you can see, learn, and use it every day of your life, but you have to fight to make it right. But in the end, there is no right or wrong and, you are the only one. I hope you are strong. Every day, I thank the Lord. For showing me that steel door. That door is not there anymore, and I'm not strong.
