OPPORTUNITY
I stood at the doorway of opportunity,
And was greeted with a grin.
I stood there feeling awkward,
Afraid to venture in.
I approached it with suspicion.
And didn\'t trust the smile.
I wouldn\'t make the effort.
To walk that extra mile.
It was cloaked in ambiguity,
With nothing in the clear.
I would have ventured closer,
But was held back by my fear.
I was like so many others,
Who cried out to have a chance.
I was invited to the party,
But simply failed to dance.
