| | I've too many skeletons in my closet and some of them wear dress.
Say
you have them too. Years past and next thing you know you'd have a
collection of facts, those of which, in your opinion, may better be
hidden, or concealed from, people in general, a specific group of
people, or even a particular person for various reasons such as, to
protect them from maybe pain - be it physical or psychological - or
maybe, selfishly yourself. The metaphor 'skeleton' is used to reflect
the nature of the fact it carries. Dark, dirty, deceitful they maybe
but not necessarily. Some things are just not meant to be known, some
must wait for the 'right time' to be let out, and some are just plain
insignificant. But, either way they must come out. Sooner or later,
they must and they will.
The trouble with these skeletons are,
keeping it in too long might, or rather will, cause serious
consequences. Unlike real bones, they will start to rot. They will
start to stink and once they do, others will notice. Imagine you have a
beautifully decorated bedroom, clean and tidy but there's a sharp nose
piercing odor coming out of the closet and others walked into the room.
You figure it out.
Think of it metaphorically. And, think of it
from other peoples' point of view. What would they think? What would
they feel? Something must be wrong, that's what. And at that point,
whether or not they saw your skeletons, and whether or not those
skeletons of yours has a dark side, or whether or not they knew the
purpose of them being kept for so long, don't matter much more. Your
intention of letting them out one day is now left in vain. The facts of
which you had been concealing, be it bright or dark, now symbolize
dishonesty, and intention to deceit. Whatever plans you have post
skeletal disposal is now pointless. Premature discovery of them, turns
honest mistakes and dark pasts that were, into lies. Try to deny it,
try to save yourself, the ball is just not in your court no more.
You
are now seen as a lying bastard, or cheating son of a bitch. The trust
is now gone. You are back to square one. "GO TO JAIL!! DO NOT PASS GO.
DO NOT COLLECT 200". All you have now are regrets, disappointment,
hatred towards yourself, and not a single trace of self esteem. You get
depressed, and try to share with those who think they know you well but
you know better. With that many skeletons, no one really knows you that
well, and as much consolation as they could possibly give, it just
won't make you feel any better. You'd just want to bang your head
really hard on the wall that you brain would explode. A knife in the
heart, sounds very inviting. You just want to tie yourself on the
railroad so it all will soon be over. This is when sanity comes into
play. Facing it with sanity is like having an open heart surgery
performed on you while you're wide awake, without any kind of
anesthetics and it's not even an option. It hurts like a bitch, you can
see and feel everything that's being done on you and there's nothing
you can do about it but try hard to stay still. It will feel like
forever. You feel like you're going to die which is ironic because it
is exactly the one thing that will keep you alive.
There are
only two possible outcomes. One, you'll die. The other, you'll make it
through. One thing for sure though, if you did make it through, it will
leave an ugly scar so obvious that you will never ever be able to
forget and really get over it.
It stays with you forever. You will ever be haunted. Just like me.
