Poetry by a not so average child

Behind Closed Doors

Behind closed doors

Don't close the door

We have secrets untold

Hidden in drawers

Won't let them unfold

We are different people

Behind our closed doors

Smile

Fake

Attitude

For Christ sakes

We aren't who we seem

People are mean

behind their closed doors

Unmoved eyes

And agitated whispers

All of the lies

They keep getting deeper

Until all of our lives

Get a little bit steeper

We play pretend

In front of our closed doors

Yelling and screaming

Slaps in the face

All of us dreaming

To get out of this place

Faces steaming

Tears are streaming

Daydreaming

Behind our closed doors
