Safe House MAG
And my heart is never locked,
But the walls around it: solid.
And guarding myself is what I must do.

Hey everyone, this is the actual author. Maybe His-Bright-Green-Eyes meant to say something different? Anyway, I thank all of you for your input. Hannah R., you're right, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, no matter what it is. It is very short, I'll admit that. But before I wrote this poem, I was very intent on writing in almost ballad-like verse. I wanted to try to write in a different way, in a way that is short and to the point. But nothing is ever complete, we can only hope for it to convey our true feelings, which I hope this did. Again, thanks to all of you for your insight, I'm taking it into account. (:

i think this is a nice poem and its power lies in its shortness. and to the author, good job sticking up for yourself! tho also remember that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. there will always be people who think they could improve your work/do it better themselves. you just have to except their opinion and dont let it bother you or get in your way. keep up the good work! i would be greatful for any advice you could give me on my work if u have the time to check it out. thx! :)
