I set out of my home with a smile towards the sun,
For today I felt free from the burden of carrying my heart,
The heart that swells at simple things,
A brave explorer that trusts this world.
I smile today knowing my heart is safe behind a lock,
Going about my day like any other,
The emptiness in my chest starts to itch,
My mind trying to feel something, anything.
I tell it I am uncertain if I am strong enough,
That the scars of the past have healed,
Where they stole a part of me like it was nothing.

Like an addict my mind tries to bargain with me,
To feel something but this sterile lack of emotions.
Despite myself I gave in to this urge,
I open the lock and hold my heart in my hands,
And it beats to tell me that it's okay to feel,
That I need not punish myself for their actions,
Though I lost a part of me, I still have the rest,
And as we travel and explore the unknown together,
We will rebuild our soul, better than ever.
