Shell
I need to escape this shell.
Or else I'm going to burn in hell.
Please set me free.
Because this is not the real me.
I'm a puppet with tangled ropes.
I feel I've lost all my hopes.
They say it's only life.
Well tell that to my shiny knife.
I don't wanna use it.
I'm just digging a pit.
6 feel under.
This is my biggest blunder.
I can't stop crying.
This is a slow death I'm dying.
I'm inadequate and dumb.
Why have I gone numb?
This is wrong.
Do I have long?
I need a hero.
But I'm just a zero.
No more terror stricken nights.
This will end my pointless fights.
