Doors and locks
Doors held me back
 
 Wood and iron
 Locks and keys
 My heart was weary, as it held me
 
 I Kept my thoughts buried inside
 Under smiles and tears, and laughs and fears
 All the wonders, on my mind,
 I had no choice but to hide
 
 Bottled up, tied so tight
 Shielded from, everyday light
 The truth, it sticks to me like honey
 For my fears and anger, hold me back
 
 Like doors of wood and iron
 Locked with keys and smarts
 The truths I hold deep inside
 Are better unspoken
 
 For the hurt they wrought
 
 The belief needed
 To see what I see 
 And feel how I feel
 
 It troubles me.
 
 The waters threaten to break it down
 The dam my heart has surely found
 My words will pour
 And break you down
 In this world of hurt and tears
 
 The door has broken
 Leaving splinters
 Sharp and ready, aiming at you
 My words uneasily stumbled upon
 As I look deep inside, those hurtful eyes
 
 You knocked me down
 While I tried to get up
 Pushing me, with cold hands
 And frozen looks, a hatred I felt flickering inside
 A fire ready to ignite your bones
 
 Words burst into flames
 Red hot on my stricken face
 And you didn’t care
 You hurt me so
 You didn’t care, but I couldn’t let go
 
 My mistakes
 They haunt me
 Come to life from an unforgotten grave
 Once again alive, full of hurt and unspoken truths
 
 What we never were
 What we will never be
 
 Doors and locks
 And keys of steel
 I will forever be haunted
 Held back by the everyday
 Fear and hurt 
 from deep inside of you.
