} the world outside {
trapped inside my egg
I had no way out
until one came
who had a heart
and gave a little help
chisel crack chisel crack
the shell began to break
I had lived in darkness
but now I saw a light
and I yearned for it
I began to work my way
out of that horrid shell
she was my support
the light was blinding
but my eyes would adjust given time
the sun felt so warm
the air smelled so fresh
how could I
have wanted anything more?
then she was gone
the sun gave no heat
the air became stale
my joy was gone
and I knew the cold reality
of the world outside my shell
