Shell


Here it all goes 

Six shots and a candle glows 

For all the departed souls

Shattering the stained glass windows

 

I tried to kneel 

I tried to feel 

This closeness with the world

You swear can hear me 

 

I tried to hold on to 

The notion there's a heaven to get to

I tried to see the world outside it's shell

Don't you see 

We are all living in hell

Hey everyone, I'm a very thoughtful and introspective aspiring writer. I've gone through some heavy stuff and writing helps tremendously and I joined powerpoetry to keep me inspired and going and help deal with the demons. I love music, making independent short films and music videos and of course writing.
