unlocked

It's been a while.

A happiness interlude perhaps.

But it wasn't happiness... it was... safe.

I cut away the lock and let the safety drop down to its net.

And now it's already locked elsewhere, unable for me to pick at.

What's crazy is that I don't even want to.

Being unlocked is what I fear.

Moving to a new space.

Feeling out of my element.

Uneducated.

Dismissed.

Why can't I transition with ease?

How long until I settle again?

Why can't I break the pattern.

This is the reason I'm stuck in the city of stars.

I must find a way to lock myself to myself.

Others can lock on to me if they wish.

I'm scared.
