Lyrics: In My Shell
I wrote this a while ago and posted on my LJ and so i am now sharing it here!
Its a little insight/interpretation into what its like to be shy or a selective mute.

In my shell
In my shell
nothing can hurt me
no one to cast their watchful eyes upon me
hushed whispers, silent judgement
but the cut is deep, and still fresh.
You think I don't have feelings
yet a thousand tears I have shed
just to be part of that group, that community
to be included, and to be treated as one
When you look at me I know what you are thinking
you pity me with your harsh glares
your condescending tones
so you ignore me and let me be
That truly is the worst part.
I want to laugh with you
share a joke and watch you smile
we don't need to talk to enjoy each other's company
because I know you treasure me for who I am.
My time will come,
When I will venture out of that comfort zone
I will be free to express myself, maybe not all at once
But when I do, will you be there to welcome me?
Will you be just as friendly to me,
As I always have to you?
I will leave my insecurities behind
And discard that shell
So that I can finally be me.
