Strength Overcoming

Its a dark bitter poem that I tried to make powerful and a harsh full truth

I lock my heart up in a chest so it'll never stray
I lock it up to avoid the hurt of people
All because..
People are selfish; it's the natural state
They will hurt anyone that gets in the way
Mankind is ruthless and can be heartless at times
Then there are a few select ones who choose to be caring
These people are the most rare to ever come across
They will out themselves at the mercy of others in order to please
Pleasing people is the main goal with this kind
Caring people hurt the most 
After a heartbreak, there are only 2 directions to go
You can learn and be an even better person
Or you can turn into someone bitterly dark
The transformation is what really kills a person
The transition into becoming accustomed to the worst
No singing
No dancing
No laughter
A broken heart will change a person forever if that person allows it
The strength one carries with them throughout the transformation will set the bar
It either makes you golden
Or rips you apart from the inside
I stay back and locked out of fear
Fear of getting broke once more
Fear of changing again
Fear of my strength taking over into someone I once was
Fear that my strength will make me happy,
When I wish to be dark
