A Locked Heart


A locked heart,

Chained inside.

Fearful of injury,

It wants to hide.

Imminent pain gets stronger,

Day by day,

Searching for happiness,

It seems astray.

 

Life looks hopeless,

Darkness overwhelms.

Light seems to dim,

As the tunnel closes.

 

Locked inside,

We hide from love.

Trapped within

Heart forever locked.

I am a student at Carroll University studying physical and health education. I have written a poetry book and it is published on amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Poetry-Collection-Dakota-Thomas-McGowan/dp/149606593X/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1403540887&sr=8-2&keywords=dakota+mcgowan) My inspirations come from sports, sadness, happiness, restlessness, and just about everything. I would love to hear any feedback and I hope you can support me with my book.
