In the Closet I've been in this closet for a while now; just chilling. this closet is empty; it's just me and my thoughts. my fingers - the only touch I feel on my skin as I lean my back on the wall waiting to feel vibrations, waiting to hear the alarm. but the noise doesn't come, and I am forced to decide my next move. in here is dark and gloomy, but it is also quiet and comforting. the light hurts my eyes, but in this darkness I see clearly. once I focus, I see colours, I see places, I see people, .......... and I see me. I am not stuck in this closet; no one forced me behind its doors. I chose to come here and just be with myself. my heart and soul have turned away from the people outside this closet, I prefer to stay in my darkness where I see more, where I think more. in this closet I am master of my fate, I think I will sit here a bit longer, in silence, enclosed in my thoughts and dreams and fantasies. I think I will stay here a bit longer as I puzzle my priorities together as I create an image of spectacular beauty and magnificence. I am not trapped in this closet, but rather I am captured by its simplicity. You hear better in seclusion, you see better in the dark.
