Stepping Out
May 22, 2012
It’s dark.
The skeletons tell me stories.
I sometimes visit Narnia.
It’s dark.
Clothes hang limp.
The skeletons’ sordid tales dry up.
It’s dark.
My legs are starting to cramp.
I want out.
It’s dark.
I’m leaving today.
I’m scared, maybe another day.
I’m in the light.
I sense the skeletons and the ones trapped in Narnia.
A closet is no place for humans.
It’s dark.
My stomach is in knots.
I try not to trip on my way out.
I see light.
I force myself towards it.
I breathe in my freedom for the first time.
