I see the world beyond
I am your portal gate;
I will guide your curiosity forward –
Your hesitant nature shall negate.
Lean on me for support,
For courage before you go;
But when you return, please take pity
And tell me all you’ve come to know

I found a quote that said, "Never write anything from the perspective of a doorhandle" and my immediate thought was, "Challenge accepted."

Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked it :)
And I'll see what I can do about possibly adding another stanza - it could work out. Thanks!

Write. It doesn&#039;t matter if you&#039;re overjoyed, furious, miserable, or what. Write to keep those emotions in check while managing to grow stronger.

Very creative idea. The only criticism that I have is that I feel this poem could have been a little longer. I only dabble in poetry every now and again, so I don't know proper poetry etiquette. I just feel that you could have added a stanza or two. Other than that, I thought it was very creative and well written. Good job :)
