MY HEART

There is a window inside my heart 
It’s dirty and hard to see
Its frosted and cracked
It hides the soul of me
Its bullet proof and six inches thick 
And made of tainted glass
It keeps inside my secrets
And every pain from the past
I’ve never tried to open it
I’m no good at being me
I always do what’s best for others
Not what best for me
I’m never honest with myself
I’ve never looked inside
I fear the window keeps back a beast 
I’ve struggled to keep inside
The glass is damaged now
And it’s lifting from the frame
I know the glass would be cleaner 
If I could proudly say my name
The window inside my heart
That shields me the real me
Should move to the front of my life 
Let the sun shine in to see.
