Coming out of my Shell
When you can escape from your self-imposed prison, life suddenly opens up for you.
I.
THIS SHELL, NO MORE
II.
To wake up
and see a glimmer of light
after years of trying
to knock down the mental
walls
I’ve built around me,
is a cause to break it down
some more,
until I’m free
to step outside
and take on the joys
and pain
of life.
III.
Can’t let this shell
around me
hold me from life.
Can’t stay inside
this shell
and rot in
my own strife.
IV.
No more!
No more!
V.
This light brings hope
and push, pull, tear
I’ll do
until it’s at
my feet,
and I am free.
VI.
THIS SHELL
no more.
No more.
