Shelled and Covered Life
As life's consumed by flames of desire
I feel the tears crawl down my emotion
Burning shells cov'ring soft interiors
Been there for so long, knew not how to feel.
Just like I took a venomous potion
A potion that harms more than it can heal.
Trustworthiness lost to those who truly can
Feel without pain, can feel without remorse.
But conversely, truth lost to those who can't
Trust who feel, whether by fault or by choice.
Pity those given into this notion,
That life is without pain or without strife.
There will be red tape and signs of Caution!
So I'll trudge through what they call this my life.
