Broken Shell
Broken shell After a lengthy time of climbing I sit on the hill peak of courage. Drafting my testimony on an inkless page of my acquired voicelessness, Looking down pieces of the shell broken scattered in the valley where My identity had been locked with my background and sealed in that cocoon of countless soul-crippling fears, With the key not placed anywhere near but thrown to drown in the pool of my pain and tears It was dark in there.
