Locked In

I keep everything locked inside me

Nothing comes out

I have made my own cage

And no one is allowed to invade

Can't let my feelings show

Too afraid to let anybody know

What will they think?

What will they say?

What will they do?

When they find out the truth?

That behind my tough exterior

Is just a cocktail of emotions

I don't know how you did it

But you found the key

I threw away and hid safely

You opened the cage

And now you can see the real me

I don't have to hide anymore

I've taken away my tough exterior

And now this is the real me
