Find me in my shell
Dear Inmate XIII – V,
I need a chiropractor and a zoo keeper
to help me let loose and unleash the beast
because no bull at times I be ragging
hating on myself
for feeling like an animal in a cage and
wishing I had more courage
maybe I can find some
hidden in the storage
behind my guts
at times I stay shut off
from everybody else
at times I want to talk to people
but then I find myself sweating
stressing from the self-pressure
then the words that I want to utter
never come out
so then I wonder, If I’ll ever come out
of my shell…
it can be scary to break free and open up
cause when that light comes through
its like a spotlight
and I begin to feel blue
and want to disappear
right out of sight
into the night
because I’m in a constant fight
trying to overcome my fears
and escape the slums I’ve been living in
this mental prison got me feeling like a bum and I’ve been
spending my nights in tears internally
as the pain inside is burning me
trying to find the exit door
to escape from the darkness
Best of luck, me (13 - 5)
Speak to you soon
