A Challenging but Free Road to the Heart

A series of long tasks while only few can escape with success. Many times majority gives up because they feel like I have no hope.

There is one way to get to my heart
but the journey is long and dark from the very start.
The walls around the piece are made of ice
where the words that could be echoed are nowhere near nice.

People have tried for years to get through to me
and they say how they just want me to feel life's glee.
But when they try, only some can get through to the inside
and even then no one is safe because my heart knows how to hide.
It begins by setting up a series of difficult tasks
that once through, they will still find a million of masks.

The people who try to get through
often times give up because I tend to be blue.
The ones who are will continue on
are the ones who want to finish until they are done.
It's only half that first all began to try
but they still don't know how my heart every day does cry.

My heart continues to throw out hardships that always seem to last
And the people who continue will soon be met with the blast.

Once they find the mask that holds my heart
They start to take the disguise apart.
More and more continue to cease in their attempts
as they realize they don't have any time to overspend.
The few that are still there
are the ones who actually begin to care.
They go to great lengths to break through to my heart
in order to have a chance from the very start.

Once the mask is off my soul,
there is one more time where they will have to battle a dark hole.
This dark hole is actually a defender that's a monster,
which keeps away the intruders and an answer.
It prowls on every dark corner in my mind
just to make others around me blind.
It's a protector that learns from time
on how the past has broken my true rhyme.
The monster will attack the ones who remain
and in order to get through, you must win a game.

The creature doesn't let anyone through
unless you can show it a thing or two.
The people who are full of fear
escape my heart with not just one tear.

There are now only one or two who were from the start
and together they destroy my monstrous part.
With time spinning towards its end
the two finally finish and my heart begins to mend.
They took the time to break through the gate
and with their goal, they melted the hate.
There was obstacles and a series of tasks
but the one or two of them never did need a cape or a mask.

It just took some time
that they were willing to help with the rhyme.
And with their spirit all they did was thrive
as they found the way to where my heart does hide.

There is only one single way
and you have to be willing to continue and stay.
There is no other way to get to my heart
unless you begin from the very start.
