TITLE (EDIT)
A Turtle, An Introvert |
DESCRIPTION
My therapist encourages me to write my lyrics and poetry by giving me assignments. This assignment was based on a photo card she had given to me. On it two turtles in the sand and two red sailboats out at sea. I wrote this one in fifteen minutes because I correlate animals to psychology and symbolism. In Hawaii the Honu is a sacred animal and is to be respected.

A Turtle, An Introvert
Diana Angela Chang
A day at the beach
Can be your spiritual outreach
Two turtles beach in the sand
Amazed how they can live in water and on land
Vulnerable prey to many since birth
Only danger welcomes them to the earth
Born on predators turf
Their mission is to also survive the surf
Born soft and given a rough start
Before their shells, they hardened their heart
Without guidance and direction
Their shell is their only known protection
But it’s the inside you must explore
Take a closer look at the next one on shore
Daze and ponder the beached turtles
They remind us of our hurdles
The shell we must crawl out from
And tread the sands of troubles undone
Releasing it all alleviates a ton
No one said it’d be easy or fun
We sometimes live in our own hell
When we crawl into our shell
So get away from all the commotion
And just listen to the waves in motion
Take notice of the different hues
Of the marines translucent blues
Look further beyond
Just before the horizon
Wind blows through crimson sails
Gliding the ocean alongside whales
Letting go of all their grief
Even if the moment is brief
Troubles melt away at the sight of a coral reef
With a silver lining to every cloud
Read the message aloud
Remembering to express yourself in a crowd
Or keep it to yourself but be proud
Because only a real expert
Can truly understand an introvert
When times come remember the turtles in their shell
Living in their own hell
Afraid to come out
Knowing what the world is all about
Don’t be afraid to make a decision
And come out of your own prison
Take notice of the rays of light beaming through the sky
These are the moments we appreciate the most high
