Shell
A shell stands in the wind
unsure of what it is
but first
a man walks up to it
pick and ****
pick and ****
"Why are you so hollow?"
pick and ****
pick and ****
"Do you not like me?"
pick and ****
pick and ****
but, a piece of the shell
broke.
Satisfied, the man left
The broken shell stands in the wind
still unsure of what it is
A woman in the distance
walks up to the broken shell
she jabs at the pices
"Why are you so lazy?"
jab and stomp
jab and stomp
"All you do is act lazy!"
jab and stomp
jab and stomp
the pressure
breaks another piece
and satisfied
the woman leaves
the shell
hollow and empty
crumbles to dust
it gets swept off a mountain
as a powder of crust
now the shell is no more
and all that remained
was a beacon of hope
that one day
the shell
won't be empty no more
