## 🧠 ABOUT THE PROCESS
I transformed my original poem by adapting it into lyrics that were then used for a song generated using Suno, featuring my voice. Below you’ll find part of the original poem, the revised lyrics, and the musical version.
## 📜 ORIGINAL POEM
An exploration of grief, vulnerability, and the invisible barriers built by past wounds, "Hold the Door" follows the struggle between self-protection and connection. As old hurts threaten to seal the heart shut like a coffin, the song invites us to resist closure, to keep a narrow opening through which hope, understanding, and love may still pass.
Hold the door Its old hinges creak Of lost time They dare speak Of slow walks in the moonlight Of hope cloaked in sight
[Verse] Hold the door, its old hinges creak Of the lost time they dare not speak Of the slow walks in the moonlight Of yesterday’s hope cloaked in sight
[Verse] Hold the door, it tries to snap shut Locking hurt deep within sharp cut Crushing rose petals that bloom spread when sunlight drizzles on their head
[Verse] Hold the door, it closes in tight The chest caves in under its might The deadly pressure of sorrow reducing space of love borrowed
[Chorus] Hold the door, it is like coffin Embalming, pervading within Breathe, lest you live as I would die Motionless, empty, not a sigh
[Verse] Hold the door, it cuts through answers to questions on unheard matters Communication lost inking Connection’s tendrils now sinking
[Verse] Hold the door, it would allow us to glimpse light, find beyond the muss the true nature of you and me sketched in the wilderness to see
[Chorus] Hold the door, it is like coffin Embalming, pervading within Breathe, lest you live as I would die Motionless, empty, not a sigh
