Sometimes

Written By Gianna Carr

Sometimes, I’m a house

with music playing

yet no one dancing.

Sometimes I’m a locked door

and I don’t even know why.

There are rooms in me

full of drafts I never shared.

Closets that rattle

with secrets untold.

I try to keep the porch light on.

Try to show that I’m still here.

Still figuring it out.

Still hoping

someone knocks.
