Hermit Crab
If you live life
As a hermit crab,
Hiding from everyone,
What will you really accomplish?
Because friends are key
To successful life.
And a successful life
Is a good thing to have.
But what is even better
Is having a happy life.
Which you can’t accomplish
If you’re a hermit crab,
Hiding from everyone.
You want someone
That you can count on.
You want to be
Counted on by someone.
But you know that
If you hide like a
Hermit crab, that will
Never happen.
So you must come
Out of your shell.
Show everyone
Who you really are.
But what if…
What if…
Enough with the
What if..’s.
Don’t worry about them.
They are just
Evil things that make you
Doubt yourself.
Just come out of your shell,
And show everyone
Who you really are.
Being friendly isn’t bad.
But being a hermit crab
Can be.
You worry a lot,
And you hide from everyone.
Stop hiding.
Face them brute force!
This is a battle you
Will win.
You are unique.
You are your own kind
Of person.
An interesting human being.
Don’t let anyone tell
You different.
You are great.
You can do this.
You are NOT a hermit crab,
A thing that worries,
And doubts itself.
NO!
You are a unique
Human being.
Something much better
Than a hermit crab.
You are an
Exceptional individual.

This was a somehow inspired piece. I wrote this recently one weekened and showed people and they said they liked it. It is about, basically, a hermit crab except "in people".
