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...

That is the it is so much in homes of America today. Everyone doing their own thing in a room with the door closed and others locked out not just the door but emotionally. Like the way that you approached the topic. Keep writing. Sara
