Skeletons in the Closet

I walked toward my closet but I could not
bring myself to open it.
Scared of what may be lurking from the past.
I walked toward my closet ashamed of the bones
I might find. Horrified by the memories and the
smell of pure disgrace. I dismissed myself from
the task. Dishonored with disgust of being reveiled
I turned to walk away.
Skeletons in my closet ugly as they may be,
skeletons in my closet somehow I must set
myself free.
Clinging to a life with a mind that is full of clutter
spiderwebs hanging that need to be swept away.
Voices screaming let it go! Let it go!
I reach toward the doorknob to turn, but the memories
are too strong.
I fight with the skeletons, again they win.
Skeletons in my closet are fighting to come out.
skeletons in my closet are prancing all about.
I welcome the sunlight for in it I find peace
A temporary fix to my hauntings. A fix to
my substantial suffering. A fix on life today.

Mamie, you let those things out of the closet and lose their hold on you! When seen in the bright light of day, they are really not so scary or so bad. Gorgeous piece of work, Darling!
