My Shell
June 6, 2012
Look down on the floor
Doesn’t seem to matter anymore
Try to take a deep breath
Take it step by step
Go through my daily reps
Whisper all the secrets that I’ve kept
To myself
Tell no one else
Socially awkward
That’s what I am
Its how I stand and hold myself
That’s all I know
Being alone
Feel that walls closing all around me
Wishing people could see how trapped I am
I can change who I am
I can come out of my shell
