A Person Within A Shell
I am a person within a shell
It can feel like hell
For I am trapped within
I don’t know where to begin
I can’t release my thoughts or ideas
I don’t think many thoughts are ideal
I am a person within a shell
I have no one else I can tell
For I can’t express my emotions
Sometimes my feelings are like a locomotion
They spin in many directions that makes to many emotions
I am a person within a shell
It feels as if I fell into a well
My mind goes all over the place
It makes me feel I need my own space
I sometimes feel trapped
Sometimes I feel I need a decompression wrap
I am a person within a shell
That doesn’t work to well
I can see and hear somethings
I wish that I could do everything
It isn’t easy being a person trapped within a shell
