He focuses on himself
because he's the selfish shellfish
he clamps down
on only the things that revolve around
him
and only himself
Does this effect me?
What do I want the most?
Are questions he thinks
while swimming in the sea
would this give me a good reason
to flock amongst others and boast?
You?
Who are you?
For the selfish shellfish
there is no else
for his world is his shell
and his shell is his world.
Beginning to find a style
clothes that fit
not just the body
but you
yourself
feeling comfortable
Walking the streets
head may not be held high
but beginning to feel okay
with passers by
To not conform
or be in the uniform
of the trends
just trying to find
a second skin
not worried
about fitting in,
for once.
I think I can be too open
not with my heart
nor with my legs
but within conversation.
I say things
that don't need to be said
not mean
or degrading
but personal
to me,
Almost as if peeling
open my skin
and letting people see
everything
Allowing myself
for judgement
I can't hide
just be found
not my secrets
but just my self
I'm out in the open
with my words
and for others
to shoot me down.
