Each closet has a purpose,
a closet visited often,
a closet full of cobwebs,
closed and never to be opened.

In the inner chambers of these closets,
lay fears, unspoken words, regrets, mistakes, and unshed tears.
Away from prying eyes and ears,
kept tucked away for many years.

But closets are also a space for fresh starts,
once the tight seal is opened,
out comes healing, truth and light.

Let us not be bound by our closets,
take out the broom and pan,
dust away the debris,
and bring to light the stories and emotions that make us be.
