Nightmares that lurk behind closed doors.
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.
