You learned a long time ago
That this world was not a place that welcomed you
That there was no one there
Holding the door open with a smile
Saying : How nice to see you
Come on in
And rest a while
You learned to keep as quiet as you could
About what you felt and thought
While bursting apart at the seams
Denying the body you lived within
Was a simple human body
Needing so very much more than this
Endless corridors with closing doors
And backs turned
The failure to admit all of this to your mind
Meant that it was your aching body
That kept the silent score
Of what you never
Were allowed to know
With your mind
Until your hunger grew too insistent
And set you on a search to find the one who said
I know you
And love you
And accept you totally
Please come in
You are more than welcome
Here
Please take a seat
For here you will find
Acceptance
A safe harbour
A space to be
Seen and loved and known
Endless corridors with closing doors and backs turned. Sometimes life and acquaintances can make us feel this way.
Yes this is more about older times but I’ve personally seen a lot of closed doors in my life and often been left crying in the corridor alone 😦
Thankfully, it is older times as you say. ⚘⚘
Yep thank God for that… I don’t know if Ill ever totally feel as though I belong though… but that’s okay. I belong to life.
This post is incredible.
Thanks so much. I had this one kicking around in drafts for some months.
Lol. I have so many sitting in drafts but alas… the swine of a critic within will never give us peace…😲 sometimes I honestly feel like punching myself in the face in the hopes of getting to said swine…😒😂
Awww just open the door and set them free. I swear people are gonna love them. (Though I understand completely how you feel :()
