Waiting to breatheA Poem by wolfie
"Enigma"
Word that rings in my ears often In circles of people and standing in the center I am but an egg unhatched They believe they know the others Shells soft or hard In a variety of colors They understand that which seems substantial Yet, for some evasive reason I remain unknown My shell is brittle but metallic Often colorless and opaque They want to crack me in the pavement To see if I'm dead or alive As the others hatch They don't understand why I remain still Silent The other chicks shriek in a mess of feathers Shrill at the top of their lungs The adults come to sooth them Yet... Here I am Still Silent Can you blame me? I just can't speak like they can The words don't know their way out Behind this metallic brittle shell that I don't dare to shatter I don't want to scream I don't want to lose myself Just not yet
