The Basement
Would you want to see my basement?
The room deep inside where I locked away my biggest secrets and regrets.
Could you open the door and not be frightened of the monsters I keep locked inside ?
Never to see the light of day again
And if I was to give you the key and say “ this is me, this is my life “
Could you accept my past and not be derailed by what you might find ?
Could you accept that we all are broken to some extent
And that I have worked hard to become another person.
Well here is the key
Open at your own pace
Just don’t judge me
For my basement will never be empty.
