Awful Sound a Closed Door Makes
Family.
What comes to mind when that word is said.
Fun reunions,
Caring relatives maybe?
Ha. Thats not what i see.
I see closed doors all around me
Asphxiating me,
Closing in on me, making themselves more apparent,
Laughing.
I see backs turned toward us.
Closed doors... no help.
Family is such a big word.
With a huge meaning that can easily be broken or lost along the way.
And mines falling apart.
No ones willing to lend a hand,open a door.
But I refuse.
I refuse to be another closed door.
Here and now it ends
I will never Close,
Shut,
Or lock it.
I will never let my hand fall to my side
It ends here
With me.
I refuse to be another closed door.
Because I know...without wanting to...whos tears and heartache come with it.
Because I know what an awful sound a closed door makes...
