Lock Poem by Brooklyn Sorrow

Lock

Rating: 4.8


This small lock,
Holds my fears.
It holds my loneliness
And my tears.

Let me lock it away.
Let me not show it again.
Please, let's just throw away the key.
Please, let's not visit this safe again.

My heart, let me lock it away,
For it holds all that I care about.
For it holds what I can no longer have.

Let's keep it away.
Lock it up.
In a big iron safe with my fears,
And loneliness.

I don't want to see my heart again,
For it no longer has a meaning.

A broken heart.
I no longer want to have.
It's hurt's me.

Lock.
Please lock it all away.
Because of all this,
I really don't want to live another day.

Hi Brooke - You really are an enigma - haunted - suicidal - only just good enough - lock the door and throw away the key - all very powerful stuff. We all enjoy your poems B because they are Poesie Noire but like 'Suicide' 'Lock' also ends in despair. V 1 Youexpress a desire to LOCK AWAY your fears - lonliness and tears. This does not solve your problems just puts them out of sight but not out of mind. V 2 Is another cri de coeur 'Please let's not visit this safe again'. V 3 4 & 5 Compound the issue - it's not just a question of getting rid of emotions - you want to get rid of the source - YOUR PRECIOUS HEART! 'My haart let me lock it away - For it no longer has a meaning'. This is seriuos (V 6 & 7) A broken heart needs mending (with love) not locking away 'Please lock it all away - I really don't want to live another day'.. We can't live physically without a heart - we can't live emotionally without a heart. Locking our emotions away is not the answer - we need to reason 'Why am I so depressed? ' and then try rationally to resolve the situation. Locking our emotions away and not facing them leads (in my experience) to despair and even death. Beacsue we all CARE - Brooke - you are able to SHARE and between us we can all bear your angst, Your poems make us think and for this reason i award it a TEN. Love you in Poetry JOHN.
