Sanctuary

A window opened/
a door closed.
A truth hiding,
cowering,
unexposed.

Occasionally
a walk,
breathing  truth
out the window
into the world
outside.
Only a little though.

When most talk
 no sooth is said,
but they don't know
the power
they denied
isn't able
to grow
because they
can't handle it.

I'm afraid you've completely lost me with this one, I liked the first verse, but not sure what you are trying to say.
