You open one door
You close some other one
Hell, you close a
Thousand other ones
Your choice, or
Just let Fate decide
Across the multi-verse
All choices are made
So, perhaps it doesn't matter
Any, and all, choices are valid
Still, you have to live
In this universe
With this particular choice
So, I step forward
Grabbing the door handle
Hesitating, hesitating
Knowing I cannot go back
So, wishing all my doppelgangers luck
I step on through
