I am the Doorway

I am the doorway

The knob you've twisted to get your way
The paint and colour has faded away

You do me no favors scratching it away

I no longer know what shade I was
But I know I was bright

I was open too

When did I have to start keeping locks
And keeping things close and safe 

Weren't they already ?

I gave you a key
So you could see the rest of me

Not rob me.
Not to vandalize me.

I am a doorway
But I'd rather be a wall

Keep you all out
No matter how much you'd kick and shout

Till you'd have to break me down

But no ,I am a doorway

Unhinge me
Singe me 

Blow me down
Break me away

But till then I will be standing here

I am the doorway
And I am changing my locks.
You're not welcome to stay
No matter how much you knock.
