When I was younger, I was told the story of
The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.
I always felt Closets were more accurate.
So I always checked for a Narnia during my childhood.
I checked for Narnia during
Family Gatherings with all of their opinions that
Drove me into closets.
I checked for Narnia during
School in staffrooms hiding from toxic education which
Drove me into closets.
I checked for Narnia during
Hide and Seek with childhood friends who judged and
Drove me into closets.
Then a girl found me there.
And the closet gained windows.
She pulled me out and told me how I would
Suffocate if I stayed in there too long.
She told me she liked what she saw through my
Closet with windows.
She told me she used to be the same.
And that had someone found her.
I didn't see her again after that,
But I learnt how to turn Closets into ones with
Windows.
And I learnt how to have PRIDE in my
Clothes with colour in an open closet.
She gave them windows.
I gave them freedom.
Will you do the same with yours?
