Nightmares that lurk behind closed doors.

Everybody have secrets that comes out behind closed doors. People pretend this stuff doesn’t happen but it does. Let me explain. Looking into my eyes you’ll seek the sparkle of innocence, but did you know behind closed doors I’m into dominatrix, taking your money if the price is right, while making you my slave. I’m respected in the community and have a great job, but behind closed doors I walk around nude and curse like a sailor, while watching pornography and getting off into my own masturbation.

Home alone behind closed doors, you will find the pretending is dropped, just like your clothes that you take off, like the hair, the prosthesis, and the teeth in the jar. Also behind closed doors you are a wife beater, but smile to everyone out in public. You explain your partner’s sickness and her swollen eyes by saying she’s clumsy and has a bad habit of running into walls. Cleverly you state the marks around her neck are from jewelry too tight. How ludicrous it is that you expect to be believed: her escape is inevitable, she waits for the right time to flee from behind those closed doors.

Behind closed doors are human trafficking and drug distribution, cries of pain and torture, muffled by the loud sounds of music, and clouds of drugs being manufactured, while surveillance cameras are everywhere. What’s behind your closed door? The excitement of your wedding day being planned and airline tickets to make: girls giggling on the phone while texting, and young men sprawled out on the sofa making a mess and watching sports. Your house is jacked up and you’re use to it.

Behind closed doors are secret meetings of the dark side, covens, demons, and witches come together to drink blood and make sacrifices and scare the hell out of normal people. They build secret rooms to chant and worship the devil and call him from the pits of hell. They terrorize the neighborhood looking for victims to be kept, snatching them from behind closed doors.

Everyone does their best to put their best foot forward, but many secrets are hidden behind closed doors. Look at yourself in a mirror and you’ll wish there were things you could change about yourself, but those desires remain dormant behind closed doors.

    Skeletons and deep dark secrets has to come out sometime and they do when you least expect them.Often revealing something you wished would sink deep in a pit of quick sand.What you see inst always what you get and that’s the way it is.A great write that was well done, interesting to read and well liked.

    Something I saw on television recently made me think about this entry, I was watching “How I survived” which are near death situations that people lived through and they are telling the details, and what was chilling about most of the stories were that the attackers looked and appeared like normal people and were very charming until the dark side came out…It made you feel like Damn who can you trust whether in public or behind closed doors. Again I think this is a chilling and honest article which makes your radars peak.

  • S A JOHNSON on Jun 2, 2010

    A very vivid and honest piece.

  • T D Hadnot on Jun 6, 2010

  • Authoress Terry E. Lyle on Sep 27, 2011

    Just stopped by to say stay on alert, be careful with the person that whom you flirt, everyone may look and appear normal but don’t believe everything you hear and this is your Warning!!! Adults and even kids must remember safety warnings that’s been drilled in their heads. It’s sad the way things are today, that it’s best to remember to always pray!
