This Lock Inside Of Me

Too strong to break
Too heavy to shake
The only key broke as I tried to open it
So old is this lock inside of me
It was said to have been bought when I was born
This I know now that I am grown
This lock inside of me

Frantically searching for my freedom
From slavery and an oppression
Which I bore no comprehension
Of
"Even I don't know what make it is "
Is what the blacksmith told me
Referring to this lock inside of me

Back at the store where it was got
The shopkeeper had even forgot
Who made this lock inside of me that blocks my heart
"Son
Good luck
That lock was made by an alloy of
Hate
Fear
Loneliness
And contempt
Thus is user unfriendly
Has a lifetime of durability
Sadly without any warranty
Company policy 'Goods once sold... "
Is what the shopkeeper said to me of this lock inside of me

The key cutter called in
Said he had heard I was looking for a key
That could unlock this lock inside of me
So elated was I that I ran to his shop only to find
He had lost his arm while making the key
The key of love
The key of care
The only key that opened this lock inside of me
The Master's key
I gave him my life in lieu of fee
And now I speak for I am free
