Ghost in the shell
Curled up so small
You won't even see her at all
Ghost in the shell
She hides
Secluded from the world
In that little shell we kick around

Just stuck inside that little shell
Too shy to come out
Sitting in there crying day and night
Too Afraid to come out and say "Hello world!"
Too little to stand to stand up for herself

If you see a sparkle, alittle twinkle on the sand
You'll find her in there
Sitting alone, wondering, crying
Take her hand and say "Come on out now, don't be shy."
Show her the world
The outside sun
Little ghost in the shell.

I love how this is mostly free-verse. I think it was more honest this way. I can feel the sadness underneath it all. I think that I understood the meaning of the metaphor, and I love the way that it isn't coming right out and saying it's meaning, but you can really still understand it. Love it, 5/5

pretty good
whats interesting is while most of it didn't rhyme, it had a good flow
3.5/5
