I am a feeling
Trapped in a shell.
A shell of confusion.
A shell of despair.
A shell of a teenage girl.
A girl who’s confused,
Depressed and trapped.
Trapped in a shell
All its own.
Its own name, identity,
Even own feelings.
How do I get out,
How does she break free
From this measly, tiny shell?

This was my first published piece which was printed in an anthology when I was a teenager which I was convinced was a sign of what was yet to come.
