Stephen Ferrett Poet Rhyme

I Am An Egg

Look at me I am an egg! 
Slightly cracked on the outside, plenty being said
I differ from so called regular eggs sat all around me

Don’t judge my appearance when you are staring at me.  
Delve into my inner being, unlock my secret self, and you'll find the key

I am wired slightly differently inside of my shell
Living a life that resembles the worst imaginable hell

My yolk is all scrambled, poached and fried 
My life an endless plane crash exploding inside
If you drop me I will fall, I will smash into pieces as I hit the dark wall

So wrap me with kindness, love and support
Don’t judge me from my appearance or the way I sometimes act

I am sick, tired, desperate for understanding, a most understated fact

I don’t need all of the King’s horses
I don’t need all of the King’s men

Those special to me, will one day, put me back to together again
