My heart's contained, wrapped in chains.

This metal cage constrains a boiling rage.

My struggle to feel caught again

in a trap of my own design.

-

It wants to break free, but I hold tight

Not letting my heart beat for someone new

As if struggles between my hands

Yet, it still urges me to live again .

-

I hide behind scared excuses,

locking my heart away

and restraining all emotion.

I don't need anyone.

I can live alone.
