They're not hiding they were forced
judgement worst
with mumbled retorts
quivering red lips sobbing
muffled rebuttals

It's your fault
for
 being
    you

that sickness
 infecting
       you

 turn the tumblers of coal
  they don't want the world to know
 
who you are
   who   you have been with
who you kissed women or men

some are forced in catacombs thick
for their closets are deposits
of
fear and shame

for the hand that closes the door
other hands will open them
for you

ones who warden you

Have already confined themselves to claustrophobic cells.
Does not matter if your straight, gay bi, a furry, a my little pony fan or have a secret to tell, some people don't choose to open the closet and be alone, some are pushed, forced, shoved into a twisted confusion of shame and doubt. 

As I said, there is always someone who will let you out, and still care after.

This is wonderful. Thank you for the hart warming words. I've always wanted to kiss another guy. I have always been afraid to tell my family that Im bi sexual, but you have inspired me.
