Locked up

Some locks are never meant to be broken,

certain doors are better left shut.

In this life there will always be an "if",

and more often than not, a "but".

No matter how I am,

or just how so ever I feel,

something's are better left unexpressed,

since there is no place for what is real.

Every time I've opened up,

it's been a dagger to my heart.

Some left without a word,

whilst others, just tore me apart.

I'm better off all boxed up,

submerged into the heart of an ocean.

To be confined within this darkness,

is what I have chosen...

I love the beginning of this and you hook the reader right away with an old saying. But it's true, some things are better left unsaid and some people are meant to be put away. Not everyone is living a happy life and making wonderful decisions. The dark side loves to tempt them from the shadows, giving them countless ideas to run with and test out to their liking. A lot of people I feel bad for and a lot of people cannot and won't be changed, no matter the consequences. I feel society should begin to realize this sooner or later. Not all people can be saved, for they are their own worst enemy.

Nice write, a lot of emotion put into it. I especially like the last two stanzas.

Well penned! I believe it is worth the risk to find that one true love. Having your heart broken is inevitable, even the best lovers can break your heart. Trust in yourself and turn the key, one day unconditional love will be within reach. (sorry, I'm a romantic) lol :)

You have no ideas as to just how happy I am to hear that... I'm a hopeless romantic at heart as well... :P

It is pretty annoying when shrinks tell you to stay in touch with your feelings. I'm in denial of the truths you have written here though lol. Like how there's always ifs and buts. I try my best to eleminate those from my own life.

I'm trying... :P

Yes there is always a chance of getting hurt when opening up to someone...but then again someone may accept you the way you are and stay by you. For me I don't really like being bottled up but I am afraid of opening up also at times lol but once I do open up a little with someone I trust I feel better afterwards.

Good Job
