The Skeleton's Shame
Have you ever unwittingly become a skeleton in someone’s closet?
The Skeleton's Shame belongs to the following groups:
! Creative Writing & Poetry !, All Out Emotion, All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical, Core [C.O.R.E], The Red Writing Room, Up & Coming Writers and Writing: Persuing HappinessI am a skeleton
Bones wrapped in stifled emotion
Hidden in the depths of a midnight closet
Words do not find me
And embraces do not reach me here
I am lost to the world
I never thought I would find myself here
My light suffocated by the swallowing dark
Pain clinging to my eyelashes in salty droplets
I am a secret
A shameful memory
A forgotten whisper
The weight crushes my quivering shoulders
My heart screams against my ribcage
A silent scream trapped in my throat
There is no escape for me as another holds the key
This is their shame, their secret
This is their closet
Writh and scream or accept and fade?
I will cower in the dark
For I am their skeleton
