Bones

a take on skeletons in closets

There are bones in

my house.

They are still, hidden

and alone.

Everyone has bones

hiding in their

homes.

Not just me.

People think hiding

will make them

free.

Really, the opposite

is true---

keep your bones,

or they'll keep

you.

i think that you are absolutely right, hiding does make things worse trust me, much worse
great poem

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, i have thoughts....i love this piece.

and i have always thought it is better to just admit and let go.

hiding makes things worse...the tales grow taller and more burdensome.

if we can admit faults and realize we are human and are going to have them, we are much better off.

Thank you for your words. They are exactly what I was trying to say.

we truly are (or can be) weighed down by and for ourselves if we are not careful. i think this is quite possibly my favorite of yours i have ever read, to date. this is terrific! definitely going into my faves....
