Aria

A Chapter by Lyn Anderson

out of the closet it came screaming

Lately I have been crying
maybe more than I should.
But I am so alone
singing my Aria
while they all sing in chorus.

I want so much to share my song
but they just bow their heads
close their hearts
and walk away
while my Aria
becomes a screaming whisper -
of defiance.
