Locked Behind the Closet Door

Locked behind the closet door. By Anthony Grider 2/3/2017 People wonder why I am the way I am., Sometimes life is a living hell., The pain of life can over wham., Mental scares no one can tell. What have I done this time., Shouldn't the punishment fit the crime. I won't spill the water any more. O Daddy don't lock me behind the closet door., Curled up on the cold dark floor. Shouldn't the punishment fit the crime., O Tell me what I've done this time. O No I won't do it any more., O So daddy don't lock me behind the closet door., Curled up on the cold dark floor., O Please daddy don't lock me behind the closet door. Even to this day, I'm scared of the dark around me., What I feel I can't say, from this fear I wish I could set my mind free. Some days feels like my souls been ripped and torn., O Some days I wish I was never born. What have I done this time, I won't do it anymore. O So please daddy don't lock me behind the closet door., Curled up on the cold dark floor., O No I won't do it anymore., O Daddy don't lock me behind the closet door. Shouldn't the punishment fit the crime., O Please tell me what I did this time. O No I won't do it anymore., Just please daddy don't lock me behind the closet door. Through life we don't know what to others we do., What kind of pain we cause over time., We can't see what people have went through., Because we pretend everything is just fine. O The mental scares no one can tell., Don't judge before you know., O Sometimes life can be a living hell., They may not let the scares show. O But tell me what I done this time, I won't do it anymore. O Please daddy don't lock me behind the closet door., Curled up on the cold dark floor., O No I won't do it anymore. O Shouldn't the punishment fit the crime., O Please tell me what I did this time. O No I won't do it anymore., O So please daddy don't lock me behind the closet door. O Curled up on the cold dark floor., O Please daddy don't lock me behind the closet door.

Thank you all, yeah wish I couldn't relate either but that's life, mostly we don't have a choice of what we go through, but we just have to make the best of it. I've got more poems and have tried to put them on here but for some reason I haven't been able to. Well keep trying. Right now I don't have any income so I can't pay any members fee. Hoping to get back on my feet and then maybe I can. Thanks again.
