A weird mix of reality and dream
Things are different from what they seem
Deep in the shadow world in which I dwell
Unspoken beauty and horrors form within the shell
My word, a dagger, my power immense
My heart, a flower, my feelings intense
Worlds mix together like oil and water
Nothing I know my shell could shatter
Inside a hero, outside weak
Words form rapidly, the mouth cannot speak
I yell from inside, the ears cannot hear
My desperate cry I cannot make clear
I am everywhere but no one can see
I am the ones that cannot speak freely
I am the people that go unnoticed
The shy, the speechless, the mouths that are frozen
Though inside there's a wonderful world
To describe it no word can be told
Outside it is grey inside there is color
A bulb that can't turn into a flower
A constant winter of doubt that what's inside is right
Surrounds every word in a cloud of fright
Behind my shield, I'm safe from all the monsters,
They cannot wait for weakness to show all their powers
And I am one and they are many
If I show myself, they would slay me
They would rip me to pieces with every word
Feed on my tears, feel joy, feel strong
