Shadows that Cast


Bound to my shell,

Strong in design.

Never revealing,

What's truly inside.

 

Perfect in Shape,

Colors so true,

Bright and Cheery,

To hide what's blue.

 

Hard as Steel,

With protection so vast,

Caging the being,

With the shadow to cast.

 

Beneath the barrier,

Under the sheild,

Lies the darkest of shadows,

The truth revealed.

 

The caverns and depths,

That lie inside,

The shell defends,

What I've denied.

Beyond The Wall

My mind gets lost in the reality of where we live. The life that we lead can be seen through filters are unknown to the souls of those who realize nothing of the world around them. Expression is what brings light to who we are and what we want to be. Nothing is set in stone, but everything has purpose. Everything has change.
