A Closet
by Daniel , grade 4
 
There's a closet in me
That holds a key
To all the passages inside of me.
No one knows just what's inside
I's where all
My feelings and dreams hide.
The feelings I sometimes
Keep to myself
And hide them away
On my closet's shelf.
The dreams of being
My big brother's bro.
There are some feelings
I'd like to share
And some I'd never
Dare to share.
The dreams of being accepted,
Not for people to yell
"Rejected."
That is what my closet holds
My secrets
That will never die
Until I'm
Very, very
Old.
