Locked
December 17, 2021
Feelings trapped wanting free
I will never give them the key.
They eat on my conscious
Prey on my sanity
simulations, a doom of my own creation.
So many irrational
So many real
My head screams
My heart dreams
I feel love, I feel stress
I feel as though I’m a wreck
I can never quit get my mind to rest
But when I do it’s you
It’s you I think of when I’m stressed
A moment of tranquility of rest
I can finally go back to bed
A few whispered prayers
Calm my storm
It opens the box
My feelings no longer have to be locked
I fall asleep to dreams
I ask for strength and Tranquility
You give it to me willingly
Simulations of your creation
Ones my heart dreams at

I really like the first three stanzas, because that is all I originally wanted to write including the fourth stanza because I enjoyed the meaning conveyed to me personally. However, adding an ending or a resolution was asked of me to make it more happy. But I think the first three are meaningful. I still think the ending could use work, the last two stanzas specifically, because I have changed the ending so many times to so many different things and just haven't been happy with it, but I do like that this represents my faith, because my faith and my church mean a lot to me and it shows my love for them, and the comfort I recieve from them.
