Description
A closet is a place for clothing.A place to shove skeletons of the past, deep into its boundaries.
A place to neatly store the unwanted.
A place to carelessly toss the unwanted.
A place of secrecy.
A place to conveniently conceal the sources of shame.
A place for the monsters to hide.
But it's no place for me.
I am not the monster in the closet.
I am not an animal,
Inhumane, untamed, or vicious.
There is no need for this containment.
There is no need for this cage.
Release me of this quarantine.
I am not sick.
I hold no disease, nor do I bear the plague.
I am not infectious.
I am human,
A person.
A girl.
Who loves a girl.
And this closet is no place for me.

I was searching for a little inspiration when I found this. ...It fit me so much, because it's something I've always wanted to write. I got a little emotional reading it, even. The beginning stanza is perfect. In fact, everything flows just right. I love this and it speaks to me very much. Just the emotion...wow. I'm sorry to have found it late. Thank you so much for sharing this! I would definitely love to feature this somewhere, sometime. ♥
