The life of a Genie
Is what you have chose
Granting the wishes
Of Them, They, and Those 

You've hid in your shell
For oh so long
Fearing rejection-
You veiled your heart’s song

It hurts me to watch
It hurts to know
I wish you set-free
I wish your shell, you'd throw

But, it has to be you
It must be your voice
It has to be you
It must be your choice

You deserve to be happy
Let these words resonate
"To thine own self be true"
Before it's too late
