Trapped
The smell of iron surrounds me, I know it is blood.
I feel a hard shell encasing me, I know it is bone.
I can control this blubbery thing, but I can't leave.
I can't damage it because I will feel its pain.
I myself don't feel pain,
but this damned blubbery suit is ailed by the slightest pinch.
The worst part is that I can't live without it.
For we are one and the same.
