Changing - Me

Would you put me under a spell
If I crawled under a shell

Would you try to break it
Or put me back inside a pit

Would you give me time
Or is that such a crime

Would you show me the whole universe
Or only the lines that you rehearse

Would you try to shape me
Or let me lie comfortably.
