of secret hearts and steel vaults

Hello there darling

what’s with the sad stories scrawled on your face?

The things you try to keep locked behind your walls

What is it you let no one see?

But all the starlight in your eyes can’t hide the pain

these secrets like a carefully woven tapestry specifically tailored to make a maze of your mind

your secrets fill you up

weigh you down

prevent you from flying away

but without them, you’d be nothing

just an empty shell of what once could have been

things dying and withering in the light of day

flames of knowledge licking away at the strands of your secret desires wants and dreams

but wouldn’t that be better?

to stand in the glow and watch it crumble to ash?

Wouldn’t it set you free from these woven shackles around your ankles?

feel the heat of freedom burning oh so sweet against the waning day

take a breath

take a chance

and come on, take a risk

you could be more than you ever imagined

so let’s watch it burn.
