The Closet of My Mind
Somewhere in the closet of my mind
Reside the many thoughts I left behind
The one’s I put aside without a care
The one’s I lacked the courage, then, to share
For in my youth I feared the ruler’s sting
Responses to the song I dared not sing
As silence weakly battled my despair
I slowly crept to where I didn’t care
T’was then, I heard a voice that startled me
Shout: "it is your voice, go now - set it free"
This voice, this tone, this echo of your being
Echoes but the truth of what you’re seeing
So speak those thoughts of now and then and when
Rethink them and release them once again
