Shell's Reflection


Don't pick me up and disapprove of my thin and brown shell

You may have eyes but are you are you looking hard enough

Don't throw me so you can crack me open

You may have ears but are you listening to my cry?

I am more comfortable by residing in my shell fortess

Please handle me with care and no assumption

Because it's very hard to free me with one's bare hands

My shell's reflection doesn't show you who I am but just protects me from harm

So don't discriminate me for what my shell has shown you 

Just show me kindness, it will be sharp enough for you to grasp me

Once you finally release me from my chamber , my inner beauty and personailty will look apon you 

I will shine so bright for all to see
