I try to speak I try to express myself I try to be present My words are silenced My expressions are distorted My mind is trapped Locked away deep inside Is me Somewhere deep down I still exist but to you there exist only a shell A shell to protect a child within A shell to protect me from toxic love A shell to protect me from love A shell to protect me from love wait... I need love

The Shell
I try to speak I try to express myself I try to be present My words are silenced My expressions are distorted My mind is trapped Locked away deep inside Is me Somewhere deep down I still exist but to you there exist only a shell A shell to protect a child within A shell to protect me from toxic love A shell to protect me from love A shell to protect me from love wait... I need love
work in progress. pointers appreciated
