Break the Shell (poem by Dorothy)
Break the Shell
Break the shell
and step forth.
What some call a “container”
is really a prison,
confining you to a small space,
where you are cramped
and it is difficult to breathe.
Kick through the walls.
Break out the windows.
You are more than
this shrunken creature,
huddled in the corner
of your cell
waiting for someone else
to bring you bread and water.
Open your eyes
and see what is in front of you.
Let your old clothes drop
to the floor.
Move ahead naked.
A feast is waiting.
Dorothy Walters
