The People Of The Lock

She was a saddened girl
Kept lots within
When asked she'd startle and try to grin
Always say it was nothing much
Never
Emotional
Stricken
Stricken with fraught
Wrapped up tight like she was caught
And when we'd pull her away
They'd come out laughing
And would say

We are the people of the lock
We suffer with the abesnce of
All her rotten thoughts
So leave her
Leave her to be
We need her with her broken key
Still we tried to pull her away
So they ripped out her veins and she drained away

Years went by and she stayed all chained
Chained by these people who relished her pain
Still we tried to reach out to her
We were
Emotional
Sickened
Sickened distraught
Tired of this filthy rusted lock
Showed her what she could be
And helped her pick up and mend her key

She faced the people of the lock
She barged through their doors and upturned all
Of their pathetic plots
She told them
Leave her to be
She wasn't alone and she could see
Her future
Her family
And her very own shiny
Unbroken key

Now she's free
Healed mentally
No more locks or scaring deeds
Ready for this life to be
Surrounded by friends
And family
And whenever shes feeling down
She'll look up knowing she's safe and sound
In her heart she knows that she
Has us all within her litlle key

One day she glimpsed
The people of the lock
She laughed in they're faces as they choked
On her happy thoughts
They left her
Left her to be
Ran away when they saw her key
And were never seen again
And this is how the story
Ends
