Hermit Crab


No one knows me, and no one will.
You think i'm aggressive,
Let's keep it that way still.

Deep inside, i'm insecure. I'll never let you know it though.
You talk to me, I'll talk to you, but don't be fake about it, bro.

I've been rejected many times,
I'll only show it through a rhyme.

They'll never know me, they say I'm strange.
But cross me once, you'll see my rage.

This is why I hide from everyone I know
I'm soft and mushy, easily bruise, but this I'll never show.
