Other Reasons Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Why can't you knock on a door,
You 've never knocked on before?
With a doing it done to see it open?
Opportunities do not come to visit.
Desiring them makes them exist.

Even if one door you picked,
Does not open but remains closed...
A choice to choose with a doing of this,
Ultimately is to your benefit.
Not sitting to wish until your chances are missed.

Are there others reasons you resist?
Is it fear you live with and continue to permit?
Or is it the unknown that keeps you limited?
With a comfort you insist validates your perceptions.
To perceive without experience what leaves to reminisce.

Why can't you knock on a door,
You've never knocked on before?
Ultimately this will be to your benefit.
Since not to experience what is perceived,
Only leaves you wishing to have taken the opportunity
