# 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.
