Saturday must-read: "Opening the Door"

I know that they're on the other side of the door.
All I have to do is open it up.
But I'm scared.
Scared of weakness,
Scared to be vulnerable.
They might help me up,
But they might be the ones who make me fall.
The people on the other side of this door.

I lock and unlock the door repeatedly. 
I nearly open it, but then walk away.
I'm alone.
I don't want to be, but I am.
I'm scared that they won't help me, 
The people on the other side of this door.

I cry. 
I don't know why.
I feel like help is nearby,
But I'm unsure.
Is it help, or is it harm?
Should I open up the door?
Are they even really there?
The people on the other side of this door.

I need to give up.
I need to give in.
I need help.
I need people.
The people on the other side of this door.

I open the door...
