This Little Soul of Me

This little soul of me As bright and vibrant as can be, Hidden so those who approach cannot see The mask hides my inner being For vulnerability remains covert, constantly fleeing This little soul of me Is this how I am supposed to be? Hesitantly cautious, But quite ambitious Inside movement affects my otter shell For putting my subtleties out in the open, will get me burned I prefer not to travel to hell This little soul of me True to its instinct, Until the day, we both become extinct This little soul of me, be who you were made to be
