| Shut the doors | |||
| Shuttered the | |||
| Windows | |||
| Prepared for any storm that | |||
| Might come | |||
| This | |||
| Way | |||
| Could be years until one | |||
| Comes | |||
| Along | |||
| But I'm ready | |||
| Whenever it | |||
| Might | |||
| Hit | |||
| Shut off | |||
| Isolated | |||
| Protected | |||
| An island unto | |||
| Myself | |||
| Stark and | |||
| Alone | |||
| The turtle | |||
| Secure within his | |||
| Shell | |||
| Waitin for any | |||
| Dangers to | |||
| Pass on | |||
| By | |||
| Missing it all | |||
| Bad and | |||
| Good | |||
| Suffering so much more | |||
| For the sake of | |||
| Avoiding some | |||
| Pain | |||
| Pretty sad conclusion to | |||
| Have | |||
| Reached | |||
| Damning myself | |||
| Inflicting a slow | |||
| Torturous | |||
| Death | |||
| Needing to let go | |||
| Come out into the | |||
| Sun | |||
| Needing to | |||
| Open up | |||
| Play in the | |||
| Moonlite | |||
| Even turtles need | |||
| Other | |||
| Turtles | |||
| Must be nites when | |||
| Even | |||
| They | |||

| Time to find | |||
| Different | |||
| Ways to | |||
| Protect myself | |||
| Get myself | |||
| Through the | |||
| Nite | |||
| Ways of letting my | |||
| Defenses | |||
| Down a bit | |||
| Ways to open up | |||
| Make room | |||
| For | |||
| Others | |||
| Time to | |||
| Let go of the | |||
| Old | |||
| Find some way to | |||
