Explosions of dust attempt to cloud my visionā¦
attempt to make me turn back.
But I wonāt this time.
I canātā¦
These closets have been carefully locked for a long timeā¦
my reminder to pack away the memories and forget them.
I can hide the memories, but I canāt hide from the truthā¦
Nothing is truly gone when you store it away;
It is merely left to be discovered another day.
And oh how Iāve attempted to hide from the twisting corridors that lead to each closet in my mindā¦
all lockedā¦
ā¦all holding different skeletonsā¦
It appears to be an intricate maze, much too difficult to navigateā¦
Besides, Iāve never been good with directionsā¦
But you seeā¦
ššI possess a skeleton key,šš
and just like other skeleton keys,
it is basically my āmaster key.ā
It possesses the magical ability
to unlock multiple parts of meā¦
exposing my complex intricaciesā¦
exposing my vulnerabilitiesā¦
exposing the raw, uncut me...
But, hereās the irony:
By definition, something well hidden is hard to find, yet I desperately seek to find myselfā¦
I search far and wide for the answers, yet Iām the only one that holds them...
And I know that. Yet, Iāve forced myself to forgetā¦
Instead, I hold the key captive, failing to realize it is causing me to hold myself captive as wellā¦
šŖIāve fallen victim to my own sinister spellā¦šŖ
ššMy Skeleton Keyšš
So, do I actually want to set my demons free,
or am I quite honestly comfortable with their company?
The time has comeā¦
I have to face my most challenging enemyā¦
the one from whom I cannot fleeā¦
the one who holds that life changing keyā¦
MEā¦
šļøI AM MY OWN SKELETON KEY.šļø
SO ITāS TIME THAT I FINALLY SET MYSELF FREEā¦
Is it the biggest challenge of my life, or the challenge of a lifetime? Or is it both?
