Woop, woop! Third update today!

I like this one a lot....

Maybe I'm just being weird....

Or it's just how it turned out.

I don't know.

Anyway, enjoy! (maybe)

Under lock and key

Are my thoughts

And the fact that I never fought

To keep them hidden before

Makes me realize that I should

Now hide them more

For if my thoughts were let out

People would surely call me a freak

Under lock and key

Are my emotions

Which, you know,

If they really mattered at all

I'd let them show

But because they don't

And because no one cares

I don't think I'll be able to find

My perfect pair

For if my emotions were let out

People would surely call me naïve

Under lock and key

Are my scars

Which still bleed

Even after my heart

Stops

And nothing but my body

Remains

For if my scars were on show

People would try to get me help

And I don't want help

Under lock and key

Is the pain

That comes and goes like the rain

On nights where it's particularly bad

I take out a blade

And I slit my wrists with it

But small,

So no one notices

And no one can see

How much I hide beneath

My happy exterior

For if that pain was shown

People would call me weak

And I am weak

But I am also strong in my own way

Under lock and key

Is the happiness

Because I just can't

Let it out anymore

For if that happiness is shown

People will try to

Bring me down lower

And I can't let that happen

Under lock and key

Is my hatred
