Two Poems

I am a shell of a man
Bursting out to see
What life is all about
Then bursting more
To Claw my way back
To stay ever in a good way.
I carry my broken shell
I need it yet for security
My shell cracked wide today
I'm really thrilled!

Turning to a fresh new page
Is a relief at trying times,
Struggling for the words
That match without the rhyme.
I want to come over straight and true
The rhyming I think is an excellent gift
I won't use it all the time.
