Shut In Shut Out

 So the girl in the closet;  

How long has she been there;

decaying, out of her mind?  

Does she know there's a conclusion, or is she always told there isn't.  What kind of a life is this without us being able to see her precious dreams if she stays shoved and locked up away not being able and afraid to come out?  

"Isn't she dead?"  

See decaying isn't always a sign of death. it can be a sign of breaking: A SACRIFICIAL MOMENT

and I for one know because I used to be her, the girl in the closet, and even though I was decaying, I felt safer being in my head.  My dreams are my dreams and I'm very protective of them.  I protect them from the people I call nightmares who might try to break them; I am decaying for the reason that I'll never come out and show you my dream.  You not helping and not touching it was better than decaying because you broke me in all ways possible.  I lock myself away in fear so you won't get in the way.
