Help she screamed
let them come off me
the room around her was dark
felt like ice in days before seem darker.
Nobody would have guessed it though,
all they saw was her beauty,
her beauty trenched in what she hides,
the tears that she sheds behind closed doors.
She was done
taking off her mask
just to put it back on
she wants to let everyone see
who’s tired of hiding tired and faking.
She did a backstretch and before her,
Releasing from her chest cavity every skeleton
she’s hidden on shelves in the mixed of her closets
skeletons she'd hide to keep from even the closest
person to her had arisen off her
with that agony of the beauty that she only allowed them to see
melted away allowing them to witness the pain,
the guilt that she endured from hiding so much
from those she loved
not allowing them to see open wounds that are
now shown before them.
They all gasp letting out their apologies asking for
forgiveness for not attending to her,
not seeing what she did not allow them to see
Suddenly the room filled lights and heat returned within the room.
It's okay she said before applying an apology for
something she can't promise won't happen again.
