This poem made me reflect more on the symbolism of doors, especially as the young poet proposes an unusual image: the door as a silent confrontation that embodies our everyday fears. Yet we rarely pause to consider that a door also holds a truth of its own—a truth that ultimately belongs to us.

These lines gave me goosebumps:
"She wishes only one thing / To remain the girl she was before the door."
What a beautiful way to capture the fear (and reality ...) that some truths change us forever. Thank you, Ariana!
