Locks
My mind, my body, my soul,
all closed in with steel locks.
Rusting, Crumbling, Corroded,
but still strong.
Lock after lock,
burying each feeling away in its own box.
Lock my feelings in,
throw away the key.
Never let any escape.
My mind won’t work, the lock won’t open.
My body can’t move, to many restraints.
My soul, unable to face the world,confined.
You spin the dial,
right,
left,
right,
but you can’t get in.
Your told Never to open them up.
But you don’t listen.
you pry,
you claw,
but nothing will work.
But you find it,
the master.
You put the key in,
turn it to the left,
unlock it,
you’re in.
they are spilling, flooding me with feelings, emotion.
my mind screaming in pain, but i have the ability to think.
my body feels numb, but i am able to move.
my soul,
it’s set free.
