Analysis of The Middle Door
I opened up the first door,
Not knowing I would see
My long lifetime of before,
Both good and bad for me.
I opened up the large third door
Mysterious it seemed,
Since it showed things that might be or
What I have often dreamed.
I then went to the second door,
As peaceful as can be.
It was the one I skipped before,
Today's reality.
