The Shell That Holds You

The Shell That Holds You

I'm good at many things but I don't stand out
I plant my feet but I don't stand my ground
I open my mouth but I'm too scared to speak
I spread my wings but am afraid to leap
I am the shell of every human being
I bring depression that scolds you
anger that loathes you
and fear that holds you
I am the shell that molds you
when you're too scared to escape you live here with me
too afraid to live life
you're no longer living
you're waiting for death

I wrote this not to make people feel bad, whether motivate them to want to break out of their shells
