Scrutiny

Standing in the dark, hiding in closets of despair
Trying to quiet the chaos running rampant in my head
Dealing with demon's I've kept under lock & key
Sitting, kneeling in the closet crying for no particular reason
I can think of no better reason to runaway than trying to outrun a crooked past
Afraid of getting too close, of letting someone in
A monster when exposed to the moonlight
I cringe at the thought of being understood & accepted
I shrink away at the thought of letting my defenses down
Afraid of letting the light touch my skin
Content with hiding in shadows, I won't allow myself to feel relief from the scrutiny of the world.
