Cadavra

Don’t be afraid of skeletons

Everybody has them.

They’re just bones collected into the shape of a person, held together by ligaments and tissue

And they’re always just skin deep.

Especially the ones kept in the closet.

No matter how hard we try and hide them, they’re there.

Under flesh and muscle and fear and regret.

Our skeletons are simply parts of us that make up who we are

Giving our future structure. Giving our past form.

We should be comfortable in our own skin

Not afraid of our skeletons

Not afraid of our secrets

Not afraid of ourselves
