How do I find the key to free my soul?
Is it within me?
Must I dig out my teeth
hope to find it inside my gums?
Tear off a limb
maybe it will fall loose?
Skin myself
and find the small piece of metal floating in my blood?
Rattle my brain
pray it gets shaken from my skull?

But I know
in the end
I must tear my whole heart out
The key is there
Where it hurts most
Hiding amongst everything I have ever felt.
