Rap Tap Tap

I awoke to find presented before me a long winding road. Placing foot in front of foot I began my journey up the pathway, a mighty storm rages all around me. The heavy rain that bashes against my skin yet I feel not. The constant claps of thunder were like a door being kicked. I struggle with my slow passage as if in quicksand. As the hours seemingly pass me by I turn a bend to see the endless road continue but this time full of doors on either side.

A dread overcomes me at the sight of these long-forgotten turns. Must I look? Must I remember?!
Please I cry let me forget my ill choices. Leave me be! Leave me be!
I look up and see a spotlight upon a door as if on a stage. A rapping ushers forward from the door. The door creaks open. Leave me be, leave me be! I cry. It flashes my regrets within it as if on a projector screen.

The job opportunity missed, promotion lost, love’s chance ruined.
I move through the quicksand to the next door to find more of the same.
The doors all started violently shaking and banging all at once. Rap tap tap.

STOP STOP I cry is it not enough that I lament for these doors already?
Is it not enough that I am Amorist yet now gaunt and amort?
Must you remind me of the opportunities lost, the doors left closed whoever the architect of this hellscape be.

I must face the truth
All the mistakes I have made
All the things left undone
All the loves I lost
All the words left unspoken
All the pain I have caused
Rap tap tap

I must face the truth
All the things left unfinished
All the paths not taken
All the dreams unattained
All the life not lived to the fullest
All the chances missed
Rap tap tap

I must face the truth
All the regrets I have carried
All the time wasted

Upward and onward I go, until I reach a mighty alter upon a dead end.
A voice booms, “Was thy life well lived?”.

Could answer to the affirmative?
