Shy Vessel (Crack the Surface)

been
locked in


this 
      fortress
                   for


far too
   long,


without
            any
                 hope


nor freeing
       keys...


but
   time's
            now


to break
out,


an
  escaping
                 of

 this my
shy vessel

(crack
          the
              surface)
& leave
   that

 
self
    made
          cell,


to seek
the talk


of 
   wisdom
                days
