Trapped behind closed doors, hidden away from logic, my emotions are distinctive, alarming, and rational. Fighting to be free she screams, “THERE IS LOVE OUT THERE!!!” Frightened by the comment and the reality of allowing my emotions to take control, I back away, key in hand, meekly I respond, “i know what’s best for me.” My emotions remain trapped behind closed doors controlled yet uncontrollable. By a keeper who goes by the same name as I do, who has the same fears as I do. Scared of the repercussions of allowing my emotions to take control I remain still…Trapped outside the same doors my emotions are stuck within… this is the only way to keep us safe

Trapped behind closed doors, hidden away from logic, my emotions are distinctive, alarming, and rational. Fighting to be free she screams, “THERE IS LOVE OUT THERE!!!” Frightened by the comment and the reality of allowing my emotions to take control, I back away, key in hand, meekly I respond, “i know what’s best for me.” My emotions remain trapped behind closed doors controlled yet uncontrollable. By a keeper who goes by the same name as I do, who has the same fears as I do. Scared of the repercussions of allowing my emotions to take control I remain still…Trapped outside the same doors my emotions are stuck within… this is the only way to keep us safe
