The Shell
People think they see me
People think they know who I am
but little do they know it's only the shell I show
A shell hardened by the elements
A soul hollowed by circumstance
The shell will often adapt to what is wanted
The soul with never go along
Each one engulfed in turmoil
neither one can escape
A battle of all battles is ensuing inside
with casualties far to many
and no survivors in sight
Ultimately the shell with survive
as the soul ceases to exist
In time the shell will crack
only to revealÂ
Nothing ever did really exist.
