SHELL

 

SHELL...

 

A shell

All it is, a shell

Smother's me, cover's me

Padded well

Heavily

Hidden within this shell

 

Luxurious? No

Abhor it, love it?

For inside this cushioning

Lies a person

Hidden

Inside, is "Me"

 

Reflection

Inner-self

Neglected, nay rejected

By society

Foget it

Let "Me" be "Me"

 

I shall shed

This heavy

Once a bodily bed

A swaddling

That covets

To be the same as other's

 

Pound for pound

Worth more

My weight in gold

You'll see

Inside this bondage

There is a "Me"
