Puzzle (snippet)

I'm so inside, and I won't let go
People speak to a shell, but they don't know
I want to hear what they say
I want to smile and nod, laugh and talk about nothing
I'm so inside, and I want to let go

Something struggles in me and tries to break free
But I can't seem to help, ill-equipped, ill-at-ease
Is it like a butterfly
If I pull it from its sheath, will its wings not grow
I need to open my eyes, I need to see.
