I Locked Away My Emotions

I knew what I wanted,

I wanted to be free,

So I locked my emotions in my heart,

And threw away the key.

Now I know,

I am untouchable,

Not naive like before,

I am no longer gullible.

I locked away my feelings,

They only led to pain,

No hopes, no great expectations,

Emotions were a bane.

I locked away my emotions,

And threw away the key,

I can safely lay my head to rest,

Knowing I am free.
