About the Poem
How many times have you stood at the threshold of a new door, contemplating what you would find on the other side? How many times has fear stopped you from proceeding?
If you never cross through, you will be left wondering "what if" for the rest of your life. Take the chance, what have you got to lose?

Standing on the outside, looking in. Afraid to knock on the door in front of you. How many times have you stood at the threshold but been too scared to cross? What is it you fear? The unknown lies ahead. What awaits you on the other side? Only one way to find out. The door swings open, Will you enter? |

Its short and has a good point. I feel like that.

I think that we are all afraid of the "unknown". We are afraid of being judged as well, and because we fear we never get the chance to explore. This poem inspired me not to fear what I don't understand and to go through life taking necessary chances. The outcome can be fulfilling or disappointing, but the only way to find out is to take that chance. Thank you Tara, for writing such an inspiring poem.
