Peel Away This Rind

Blocked in my bonded mind
I am trying to get away
Trying to peel away this rind
Left in nothing but dismay
I am thickened in the skull
My shell is very thick
And quite a nut to hull
You may need to use a stick
My mind is a loose cannon
Like a bomb set to blow
Just like that Roy O’Bannon
From Jackies movie show
You see I’m so blocked in
I bury all my emotion
How can I ever win
I’ve lost all my devotion
Just need to get it back
To fix all my emotion
Before these feelings stack
If I locate my mind
I’ll never let it go
It will be quite a find
But how will I know
