Glancing out into the world of the usual, yet unknown each day, every passing minute,
Only to see the light shadowed by the dangers it takes to make it,
Personal insecurities, previous struggles entangle me in a delusional reality of what’s today,
Forcing me to believe this life as I know it is not just a lie, but a fairy tale of a broken cause & effect,
Vulnerable to my environment, yet protected enough by the scars imprinted upon my back,
Slowly,I move into this muddy, yet slippery slope headed to the unknown......... no moving back,
I hide away the most tender parts of my soul by my fragile flesh, covering up the heart that’s dim and low,
Forcing myself to be conceal into a mental cage, inside my turtle shell, will anyone ever know?
