Impenetrable like callused hands
My smooth garment is my shield
My chambers gate is sealed with cement
Insides tossing and turning
A sudden tremor has cracked my shell
A speck of light squeezes through
Cold...broken in two
All that I held within pours
Out like raging tides
Into a fiery pit
Sizzling from treacherous heat
My flesh melts
Changing who I once was into what you want me to be
Which is
........................ Sunny side up.
