A Closeted Prayer

Confessions made in darkness 
Secluded from the outside 
Limited space words are spoken 
Mentioned, in a closeted prayer

Knowing only God will hear me 
Giving reverence to my thought 
Friends and family lack understanding
If walls could talk I would be rebuked

Thankful now my house in empty
In fear my cry escapes
Damned to hell would be my soul
In the closet I left confessions

Relief felt, somewhat
Unsure about my pardon
Suppose my fate is still uncertain
Left, in a closeted prayer

Confessions are always made in darkness in a closeted prayer, Josh
