i have a padlock
that keeps my heart chained up and safe
hidden away from the rest of the world.
held in with iron clad links
that wont let me down.
a kind of security that doesn't need to rely on people
because people make mistakes.
people forget to look where they step.
and sometimes, on accident, they stumble
and manage to maim you on the way down.
they don't mean it.
they don't intentionally tear you up
but regardless of intent, cuts and bruises come along
and little pin pricks sneak in
into places that you thought were protected.
