Inside Your Shell.

Folder: 
useless

2:29 and all is well.

I tried to keep breathing, but instead i'm in hell.

Will you remember, and remember me well?

Or will you forget about how far i fell?

And in this morning, are you sleeping well?

I tried to wake you, but you just wouldn't tell.

You know the secrets, yes you know them well.

Why aren't i sleeping, and not escaping hell?

You know this is simple, i know you can tell.

But still you are sleeping, inside your own shell.

I wish i remembered, and remembered it well.

2:34 and still it is well.

Still i am dreaming of escaping this hell.

When it's 2:35 and there's nothing to sell,

Will you wake up from dreaming, and enter my shell?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I am so tired. I wish I were sleeping, inside my own shell.

This damn thing just deleted my critique...
What I wanted to tell you was that I still love this poem and read it almost everyday-it's taped to my latin folder.
