Western Shell

By Theodore R. Goyins, III
-Customized Writing-



This shell is for my hiding
Its' hard exterior protects me from revealing my soft side
I use it as a mirror to reflect what you accept as fitting in
Fitting into a culture that makes you feel comfortable about you because few are different
So I just put on my little westernized shell to blend into that which surrounds me
Society has caused us to adopt their norms and traditions
Drowning out our individualism and opportunity to be our divine self
There are few and far between that seek to step outside of this shell
I believe my true beauty rest inside of this shell
A precious stone that has been developed by the pressure of going against the norm
My true spirit rest in the revealing of what lies within
A shell built to withstand the pressure of the outside world
The outer core has been all you have seen
It creates a facade far from who I truly am
Soon you will see
That beneath this shell is not who the world wants me to be
But only the precious stone that was created.........me
