Your Key Judgement

I hang my head As freezing cold insults are projected onto skin worn out by scars How could you have ever thought you want me? I'm locked in my own body Like my joints are only accessible by skeleton key Arms over my face liked a shield Who could smile in this kind of cage? I didn't even feel like I was in my own skin It's slip stitched Doubled with iron thread No one is getting in I love you But you don't love me You're getting too close and I think it's time for you to leave
