The Grand Door

The Grand Door
By Carson Larkwell

What if I told you behind closed door people’s personalities take a shift ?

Theirrealpersonalitywas, short fake and practiced like a guitar rift. …

behind closed doors

What if i told you I brought self harm …

intomyconflictin’depction of an “ average life”

behindcloseddoorsWhatifItoldyouIthoughtabout suicide …

Which could deprive a hopeful mother of the one time chance of seeing their child happily go to college

behindcloseddoors.

What if I told you i was tired of being wrong..

like hearing a eternal loop of … what was your favorite song
like a broken record

or

tired of working hard with no pay out … ,

6 hours hard work just for the “A” you stay without.

Enough stress to make a grown man life go south.

tired of listening …

remenising on a time where I was … we … were … better

so I thought …

whatif it was all over ,

searching for a time where you think you’re sober.

Hard to find like a four – leaf clover …

“lucky”.

Just one poorly thought out decision…
could be the division of ones …

everything.


Behind closed doors anything can happen, anything can change because it’s just you.

What can you do to change what happens behind closed doors?
