Enclosed


Egg of a shell, Hard outside and soft inside, Easy to get out, But not to get in. A shell is not for an egg, But as a person, A shell of a person, Can be hard to puncture, Only a little chip, At a time. Behind the shell, A brick wall. In order to break, Give it time, Get through loops, Get through hoops. You have to give it time. The chance that it will break Is slim to none. Be aware, When it is trembling down. Breaking through a brick wall, Is not possible. Underneath the brick wall is a shell, That hides a person inside. The person is often shy, And often quiet too. Always doing, What they are supposed to do. Knowing they are shy, People steer clear, Hardly any friends are seen, With a hole in the brick wall, Information is let out. With information, Others find out, With a hole in the wall, There is a crack in the shell, Only an eye can be seen, For no one has gotten past this far.
