&quot;Perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave.&quot;<br /> ~Rainer Maria Rilke~

Her eyes dart back and forth,
each door holds its own mysteries.
Should she pursue her dreams or follow him?
Should she listen to her heart or go with the crowds advice?

Her head is spinning around and around, only one door to choose.
One has been open for months, and the other just days.
Both have the same promises.
Promises that can be broken.

As she reaches for the nearest door, her hand snaps back.
She needs to wiegh her options.
For her time is limited.
