Back in my turtle shell
I am so tentative
With everything I do
And everything I say
I have a hairs worth of
Self confidence
I hide inside my turtle shell
In the shadows
Alone,
Wandering
My walls grow
And conceal me
Like a cave
I put on a mask in the morning
And don't relieve myself of it
Till the nights shadow
Has fallen upon me
I am the breeze in the night
No one understands it
No one knows it's details
Or why it's there
But even so
It's still there
I am like
The owl
Howling throughout the night
He's mysterious
Even though understood
He's feared,
But harmless
I tell only what needs to
Be told
And trust no one
I hide back in the comforts
Of my turtle shell
And mask my personality
I am here
With myself
All I need is myself
All I want is myself
All I have is myself
All I trust is myself
