Locked Up Poem by Chelsea Blick

I played it smart, absolutely
Without a doubt, no feelings
Attached…yeah they say
I am a hard fish to catch
Impossible to keep,
Some are even intimidated by me
Too scared to shot down,
turned down…forgotten
I am no where near venerable
Never gullible, I am independent
And for some reason, I still feel
The horrid sting of heartbreak
I am still unhappy, and lonely
No matter how many say I am lucky.
When the sun shines, I always
Shun the light away, but why?
I am lonely, but turn down every
Single damn man who is offering
Every night someone will give
Away their heart on a platter
to me to feast upon…
But I refuse to eat every time
and so I starve, and my loved ones
Are all worried sick, cause they know
I am yearning, but the walls I’ve built
Not even they could force to tumble
I am locked up, and pretty damn good
Feel free to try, but remember
I am one of those impossible ones
