I Will Not Go


There are two pieces of me,
One of which you'll never see.
It's shattered and broken-
And shall remain unspoken.

 

You see my hard shell,
It's gone through hell.
It has strengthened-
But my time has not lengthened.

 

I feel alone,
Thorns around the throne.
I will not go-
I will not go.
