When stormy 
weather comes, 
what better way of keeping 
 the drops away from your cheek  
 than hiding beneath a shell? 
A shell of glass so you'll know when the storm's over.
A shell through which 
all 
 others can see you. 
 Only the image is distorted...
And, in the end, would you leave your shell? 
At least it saves you from the 
 water and 
 wind's cold 
touch 
trying to put out 
 whatever 
 warmth you still have left inside.
It's light enough for a soul to bare. But 
it's also thin and could never last 
when hail falls down on you.
Who 
         would hold a 
                                body covered in 
                                                            broken glass?                
The metaphors you used are very effective and make it easy to relate to them with palpable feelings. About the mask we all wear and are afraid to pull down not to get hurt. Mult succes la scris! :)
