Poem: Shell

a great defense is a good offense
the mind tells us to put up a fence
to delete stress n to captivate moments in the abyss
a lot of things may not make sense
why enter the abyss and get loss
to never be found, such a hefty cost
or is it to gain unobtainable knowledge
isn't that why we go to college
or is it to open a shield
and explore a vast field
on which we can build
emotions to feel
dreams to full-fill
or time to kill
with friends who share a similar passion
your pursuit of happiness shall end with satisfaction
thus rejoice...shout and yell
finally a snail out of a lonely shell
