Hopeless Turtle Metamorphosis Poem by Dyhanara Rios

Hopeless Turtle Metamorphosis



Open your eyes, heart, and ears
I felt your presence with your quivering fears
Nothing’s stopping you from your stubborn ways
But everything holds you back from breaking free
From loving you and loving me

You are only as strong as your innermost layer
Your flawless mask doesn’t make you anything

I want to see effort and the will to try
So I’m not asking for a social butterfly
I just want you to tear down your facade
Surf reality and happiness
By our friendship’s esplanade

I think it’s hopeless since it hasn’t happened yet
But where would I be
If I were to circumvent every challenge met

You fear stepping out of comfort zones
My fear of indifference settles in my bones

I’m not strong enough
To break you out of your shell
And I’m not hostile enough
To lay down a cold farewell
