Shell Shock
Sometimes I feel like a turtle hiding in its shell.
I'm watching. and wafting to be all well.
So should explore the deep blue sea.
Instead of wondering why things don't come to me.
I am looking at the fish that pass me by.
Pondering this thought while looking at the sky.
Why do the fish always seem to know where to go, while turtle always seems so timid and slow.
