I'm like a closed shell,
On the outside I don't have much to tell.
But inside I hold many secrets that are unheard,
Even in pain, I don't let my secrets out, not a word.
I love to bask in the sun, and dance in the rain,
But on the outside I do none, I try to restrain.
Outside my shell I try to be simple and plain,
Inside I hold all the terror and pain.
I'm happy and sometimes sad, in my own little world,
I don't want to come out forcefully; I'm still beautifully curled,
I'm scared to come out and show my real self,
I feel I would be insignificant, like an elf.
I may appear all so indifferent outside,
But my inside is so demanding, my feelings with the outer world may collide.
I try to come out and not to hide,
To explore this beautiful world that's so wide.
I have feelings too, and a desire,
Someone who would love my inside unconditionally is what I aspire.
Someone who would carefully take me out of my shell,
Who would always love and take care of me well.
Who would not only look at the outside of my shell, but also love my heart,
Who would takeout my inside, without breaking my shell apart.
