Lock And Key

by "Tika1980"

You see the outside
what you want me to be
take the time to stare inside
and what you'll find is me

Maybe not what you want to see
but the reality hiding inside
the unclouded truth you haven't seen
and probably never will find.

I keep that part hidden
locked in a shadowed place.
Holding it protecting it
from the cruelty that I've faced.

It's sweet tender and fragile
passionate wild and free
all these things together as one
I keep under lock and key.
