Like a hermit in a shell

if you never step outside

how you going to know what’s going on,

if your only knowledge of the world

are the stories you’ve been fed,

then no wonder your ideas and opinions

are so twisted.

Step out of the shell

and experience life for yourself,

and see the beauty and the wonder all around,

it is not all as negative as others may teach,

It is a place of so much joy, laughter and love,

so step out of your shell,

that has become your cell,

and blossom like a flower in full bloom.

For your colours are amazing

if you just let people see

and when you open up your heart and mind

and then set yourself free,

life will be a brighter happier place

and you will will wonder why

you wasted so much time in your shell.
