Excellence Award in the 'Write As Rain 2014' competition
In his silent haunted shell
While the world around him seems like hell.
Twisted views of what is real
Continue to slip through his seal.
A harmless comment goes awry
Now casting its judging scornful eye.
The words he mistakes as personal blows
Are those that now limit how much he shows.
He walks his life a broken man
Realising he's only got one true plan.
Seeking the love of those around
Who he's pushed away and never found.
When he finally shuts off all the voices
He will no longer worry about all his choices.
But for now he stays where he knows well
In his silent haunted shell.
