Turtle with a Shell

Turtle in a Shell

I'm a turtle in a shell
Of the finest greens and blues
But underneath I'm rough
If you do not tell the truth

My shell is made of stained glass
My other broke apart
Someone crushed it
When they broke my heart

I'm a turtle in a shell
I have black and silver skin
I'm so dark, but so beautiful
These are what I feel within

My stained-glass shell was made
When I fell back in love
But this time it went see-through
Since number two ain't number one

I have pearl-gold eyes
In which I see the world
Everything is precious
It's a flower that's unfurled

I swim in a little pond
With fish and crocodile
It might seem a little scary
But I'm okay every single time

One day I will grow up
And truly leave my shell
But right now I'm okay
All is going well

The pond and all it's animals
Are friendship and my friends

The shell is my love
The colors are how I loved them true

My skin is how different I am
My eyes are how I see things

For I am the turtle
A unique
Turtle with a shell...
