Dreamt I was in a round room
With a thousand doors
Found a note hand written
It said “whatever you find is yours”
…. You deserve whatever you find

On the floor a thousand keys
One for every lock
The note finished with “good luck”
‘’But keep an eye on the clock”
…. “Your fate” was how it was signed

A thousand opportunities
A thousand directions to take
A thousand ways to get it wrong
My destiny at stake
How long until I get it right
How many mistakes can I make?

I started trying every door
One lock at a time
The first one finally opened
There was nothing there but slime

One opened to a lion’s den
Another to a snake pit
One full of angry witches
One a closet with nothing in it

A thousand opportunities
A thousand directions to take
A thousand ways to get it wrong
My destiny at stake
How long until I get it right
How many mistakes can I make?

I layed down exhausted
Then pulled myself off the floor
I noticed when I looked up
There were fewer doors

The room started getting smaller
The walls were closing in
No door offered a way out
Much to my chagrin

A thousand opportunities
A thousand directions to take
A thousand ways to get it wrong
My destiny at stake
How long until I get it right
How many mistakes can I make?

Running out of options
I thought of the note I read
Am I getting what I deserve?
The words rang in my head

The clock suddenly stopped ticking
Time came to a halt
I couldn’t find the right door
And I knew it was my own fault
…. I should have trusted in my fate

I woke up in a cold sweat
Not sure how to feel
Couldn’t believe it was just a dream
…. And how it all seemed so real
