OctPoWriMo 5 - Wide Open
Prompt: Doors
Suggested form: The Bop
Wide Open
All my life I’ve sought the shadows:Hiding who I am from everyone;Presenting part of me as all of me;A mask not quite a lie but not the wholeof who I really am. I like the quietin the darkness of my thoughts.
Fling the door wide open and let the light come in.
I am sensitive to sun and light:Too much of it can quickly burn my skin,But I cannot survive too long in shadow.And yet the opened door is terrifying.I am safe, alone and shelteredhere inside my refugewhere no one knows meor my secrets.
Fling the door wide open and let the light come in.
With creaking, squeaking hinges,my closet door cracks open.I let a couple people in.But fear still holds me in its gripand keeps me in the dark. Why should Ishare who I am with those I cannot trust?
Fling the door wide open and let the light come in.
