ACHES [Wattys Winner 2015]

Our Closets

A window evincing the reality you hold,

We all have our closets inside.

Where we hide from the existence we are carved with,

Where the truth of our living  and way of it actually sprawls.

Where the secret is so dark, even our conscience has no light.

Where we are demons to our own angels,

Where we manipulate our own vulnerabilities.

When those weaknesses show themselves, that closet is gaped,

And then we find our demon escaped.

Revealing us in the selfish skin we wear,

From the closet, to the world we fear.

In the face of the villain we hold

And a heart where every emotion is banality,

All altruism cold.
