Alright folks, now we get to the more emotional stuff.
A Shell
by ~zakyman
How does one continue
Carrying on their daily business
When they are eaten from the inside?
How does one
Cope with loss
After that which they care for is gone?
The answer my friends,
Lies at the beach,
In the pretty soft sand.
The shell embodies all sorrow.
Perfectly whole on the outside
With pretty colors and patters
To delight the eye.
However the inside,
Is cold and empty.
Nothing remains.
When one experiences profound sorrow,
They become the shell on the beach.
Hardly functioning in every day life.
A pretty picture with demonic paints.
So how does one continue
Carrying on their daily business
When they are eaten from the inside?
They become the shell.
This one I wrote when I was not exactly cheerful for a long period of time, and I was embodying my own experiences into this poem.
