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
