The closet

Story


The closet is a construct of your mind

but you may find it very confined.

Just like a real closet, it’s small.

Wall next to wall.


Sometimes the door is held close

by those we love the most.

Sometimes we hold it close ourself

too afraid to ask for help.


But opening that door

is something worth fighting for.

You can not thrive in the dark

and you can’t leave your mark.

Make the world a better place

by getting out of that confined space.


Find who you really are

cause that will get you far.

Far on your way to feeling joy

and to a life you will enjoy.


So grab that door knob.

That is noone else’s job.

Push with all your might

and step into the light.

It might be hard

and for some the way is barred.

But being out is worth every bit

so do not submit.
