This Oyster Shell

Everywhere I look inside this oyster shell

I see possibilities

Opportunities fall like rain drops 

People walk with a purpose

Of a calling untold

A head held high with a knowing smile 

 

Everything within this oyster shell

Is yours for the taking

You simply have to focus and compete

And they tell me one day you shall reach

Goals and dreams you shall complete

 

All around me in this oyster shell 

A cord attached to every soul 

Deeply fashioned with powdered fear 

Tied up with insecurity bows 

For even when you reach with all your might 

Everything within this oyster shell 

will always be 

just 

out 

of 

sight.
