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.
