Locked up

The key to my heart
can only be found
by looking deep inside
and finding that place
where peace calls home

Hard brick walls
and fire-tested years
guard that inner spot
Dreams and desires
are locked away inside

What will it take
to finally release
hate and fear...
ignoring failures...
letting dreams fly?

Until those dreams
are allowed to show
my life and heart
are locked away
trapped in fear
