We all have secrets,
building walls that close us in.
We allow fear and pain
to stand as sentinels;
and like prisoners with
Stockholm Syndrome
we believe they protect.
When in fact~
they are gatekeepers,
wardens-
keeping us locked in our
secret closets.
Leaving our closet
is one of life's hardest challenges.
From telling the one you love -
you cheated
to openly admitting sexuality.
The secret closets
bind,
choke,
enslave
until we face the fear,
and deal with the pain....for
A closet is no place for a person
