Enclosed
Egg of a shell
Hard outside
Soft inside
Easy to get out
But not in.
A shell not for an egg
But as a person.
A shell of a person
Can be hard to puncture
Only a little chip
Behind the shell
A brick wall
In order to break
Give it time.
Get through loops
And hoops
Give it time.
The chance that it will break
Is slim to none
Be aware
trembling down
Breaking through a brick wall
Is not possible.
Underneath the brick wall is a shell
That hides a person inside
Often shy
quiet too
Always doing
People steer clear
Hardly any friends
With a hole
Information is let out
Others find out
With a hole in the wall
There is a split in the shell
Only an eye can be seen
No one has gotten past…
