The Shell

I hide behind this shell,
I found it in a cell,
I hope no one can tell,
what I hide behind this shell,
It looks hard, sharp, strong and intimidating,
behind it, is the small me,
the one with stitches coming loose,
held together by Elmer's glue,
the tender me I don't want anyone to see,
maybe one day i'll come out from behind this shell,
Once I realize all along it's been my cell,
For now I hope no one can tell,
that this has become my internal hell.

Where does this need come from? I think, deep in our core, we know. And still, we repeatedly doubt it, deny it, believing this world is our own. Convincing ourselves that we are our own. Yet, we cannot heal ourselves, we cannot change ourselves, we cannot bring ourselves back to life, we cannot free ourselves from the unseen chains that bind us and weigh us down. I've come to fully embrace the reality of this existence. To expect struggle, to expect pain, to know that death will come. I may sound somber, but I am not, I do not deny the beautiful things that God has placed for us on this ...
