The Shell
by E. Alemán

I feel my shell decay,
Is this the only way?
Must stay to my heart true,
It’s all I’m holding to.

The shell for all to see,
I bring out everyday.
It slowly poisons me,
break out insane i may.

Resonance from the head,
Echoes when left alone
for too long, the lies said
with my smile, it's all gone.

I belong to nothing,
dispersed as everything.
As threads pull me apart,
can't just follow my heart.

Not alone, surrounded.
Even though supported,
In a pit of fire,
from my shell i tire.

And so I break the shell,
a monster as I may,
walk through beautiful hell.
This is the only way.

Every crack that makes its way out,
Lets a light pass through,
Opening
Myself
To
Me

Making myself vulnerable.
No shell to shield me anymore.
The air is turning breathable,
I can stay true all down to core.

I'm turning delicate and weak.
Now I won't need to act so tough.
Blood flows anew trough my rose cheek.
I have been faking long enough.

Every crack that makes its way out,
Lets a light pass through,
Opening
Myself
To
Me
