Behind Closed Doors
by Mark Tulin
As I lurk behind closed doors
I deny the shame I feel
Peeking through the wooden slats
Feeling the curve of my body
The person I’ve become
I'm willing to risk it all
Disregard my narrow view
Of a world without sympathy
A shut-in with few allies
Staring out the window
Tasting my sour breath
I'm a victim
Of my own design.
