Open up. Don’t keep it shut.
The door to your heart is not meant to be there.
You built it up when you got hurt.

Open up. Don’t keep it shut.
The door to your heart is not letting love in or out.

Open up. Don’t keep it shut.
Doors are not for hearts.
You think your door is protecting you but it’s only blocking the flow of love that is your birthright.

Open up. Don’t keep it shut
It lies. This door.
It tells you stuff like: “show them how it feels to withhold love from them“.
You think you’re the punisher. You are the punished.

Open up. Don’t keep it shut.
Whenever you feel your heart closing down, remember that.
Shutting down is not the way you handle life.
Keep it open and stay watching.
That’s the courageous choice.
Shutting down is turning your back to your life and to those you share it with.

Open up. Don’t keep it shut.
The doorway should be clear. The door must be wrecked off its hinges.

Open up. Don’t keep it shut.
When your heart is open, they can tell.
They will feel your unconditional approval of them.
And guess what? They, too, will crack theirs open.

Open up darling. Don’t keep it shut.
