Turtle

Synonymous
To the cliché
Of a lipstick stain on a window pane
Anonymous
On the freeway
While the radio blares
To keep you sane
And somewhere in the midst of this
A passenger
A messy kiss
I will hide
Inside my shell
A place that I know
Very well
Hey streetwalker
My road blocker
I’d like someone to hide behind
Keep walking home
Pay me no mind
And somewhere in the midst of this
Oblivious stranger
Awkwardness
I will hide
Inside my shell
A place that I know
Very well
Steam is rising in your voice
I’m left with a familiar choice
Prop my knees
Close to my face
Hold them in my arms embrace
Or fight for power
Scream and yell
Knock you down
Start raising hell
But as I feel my fear begin to swell
I hold to that familiar spell
And I will hide
Inside my shell
A place that I know
Very well
