Hey,
angry young man. Remember me ? I am the door you just slammed. Do you
realise how much you owe me ? Of course you don't. Let me list some of
my favours. There are cracks on my body and glass for each time you've
crashed me against my frame. Count them and you'll realise how many
times I've protected your ears by cutting off the voice you didn't want
to hear. There are holes in my hinges for lack of screws, dislodged from
the impact of your anger. Could very well have been the hinges of your
mind getting loose and letting your sanity hang loose with it.
My handle is loose and would be in your hands next time you pull me with this ferocity. Well, better loosing my handle than you coming off yours.
So I do need some repairs, if you don't mind, to continue providing these services to you. But you do know what would be better, don't you ?
Get yourself repaired and leave me alone. After all, I'm just the physical manifestation of what you do to yourself when you see red, flip your lid off and are wreathing in anger. And you can do better.
You don't need me to create that bang and tell everyone of your explosive mood. My panels of wood and glass are mere materials to your mental ability to cut off that angry thought. Practice and harden your mental hinges and spare mine from bearing the brunt of your displeasure.
People will pull and push your handle, test your hinges and throw you against your own being and structure. But its only YOU who can allow your screws to loosen up and leave you with a hole in your soul. Your frame and roots will only shake if YOU allow the impact to hit you.
Not sure if you've noticed but I open one way because that's how you devised and fit my hinges. Yours on the other hand, are much more flexible, if you allow them to be. Use them to just go the other way when feelings hit hard and don’t let yourself go bang against your frame.
Avoid the impact and hold on to your panels, both wooden and glass - hard and strong for those ruthless hands but transparent for those who deserve to see through you.
Take it as just another day and just another person testing the strength of your handle and hinges and screws - because you have them. Maybe they don’t. Do not give them the joy and right to shake the very basis of your existence - your frame and roots.
And just by the way, if you think the creaking door that you slammed is talking to you - there is some damage done already to both of you ;-)
