My Life In Word

IN THE CLOSET

In shadows deep where secrets hide,
A heart confined, no room to stride.
A silent cry, a whispered fear,
In the closet, dreams unclear.

A world outside, so bright, so free,
Yet locked within, a plea to be.
The weight of masks, the heavy sigh,
In the closet, spirits lie.

But courage grows, a steady flame,
To break the chains, to own one's name.
From closet's dark, a dawn so clear,
A life reclaimed, without a fear.
