The treasure chest is locked
of course
I cannot find the key.
Losing it
intentionally
was self-defense.
And of course
someone asked about its
contents.
Privacy excluded,
they meant no offense
to my memory.
But of course
certain things cannot be trusted
with others
Or oneself, really.
That is why
it is safer to hide
Inside.
