Safecracking My Heart
My heart was locked in a safe
Combination concealed from the start
Relied instead on intellect
Over-rotated to science as lost track of art
Feelings felt foreign
My heart was locked in a safe
Leaned on left-brain logic
Emotions didn’t enter my home base
Uncovered a way to crack the code
Unleashed my inner detective to solve the case
My heart was locked in a safe
Decoding it took a warm inward embrace
Once I started showing myself grace
The digits on the dial magically fell into place
Love spilled out as my right-brain was unshackled
Now my heart is no longer locked in a safe
