You are a poet,
Not necessarily a popular poet,
But what's certain
Is you seek a voice.

It's difficult to find such a voice,
Torture even,
And you can't imagine happiness
Because all your life,
You had nothing to rejoice over
As you were trapped in the darkness.

A door opens;
Hoping that's your way out,
You enter it, noticing
A journal and a pen on a table.

You immediately grab the pen,
But right before
You tear through the journal,
You look back at the darkness,
For that place was your comfort zone
Despite your desire to leave.

Where do you go from there?
Do you give up before you start
Or continue moving forward?
I suggest rubbing that pen against the journal.
