Written by Jacob Ibrag
I know you’re on the other side of this door and
yet, I’m scared to open it. You’re this anomaly that isn’t
supposed to exist and I know the second I let you in, I’ll find
something that’ll make you human. It’s unfair and I’ve basically
set you up for failure, but I need you to be this unattainable
creature. In a world fixated with stagnation, you’re the
single force that makes me want to be better.
The last line has a power to it. It leaves a wonderful feeling. Lovely poem!!

Not fair to be made in to unattainable myth or ignoble anomaly when the other is just as human…….poet is honest enough to admit that, but this inhuman treatment is to excel him self ? Nah …..it is a fear to face him self as a human , not a demon nor an angel…… human is imperfect , vulnerable and afraid of rejection.

Interesting dichotomy that the one behind the door must essentially stagnate as an ideal for the speaker to move forward. It makes one think. What happens when the door opens?
