like a hermit-unfounded
solitary but proud
i was hiding-behind fences
shutting myself out
crossed my arm-disarmed
loss of self-defence
wouldn't fight off-haunting memories
crimes without a sense
closed my eyes-blind folded
images of hell
caught inside a vicious circle
retired in my shell
shut my mouth-lips sealed
there's no need to tell
wouldn't share with you the secret
that could break the shell
shellshocked-no escape from dreaming
shellshocked-there's no escape from dreaming
