[bodytext] => I'm slowly turning,
changing into a hermit. The hermit who stays home night after night, pushing away company and diving deep into my shell. My fears and anxieties scatter through my head, confusing and frightening- they are what turns me. I can barely take it, I'm becoming a recluse, isolating myself from the world. Isolation, seclusion, they are the last things I'd ever want. They just leave me stranded by myself, alone, loneliness is what I fear. A fear, one of many, is what keeps me here- drives me into my shell, makes me unsociable. I want to leave, see new things, meet new people, but this shell won't let me go. It sticks to me, steals my air, suffocates me, weighs me down. It is trying to kill me, trying to attach to my skin- become permanent. I need to break it, crush it, grind it into nothing. I can't be alone, I can't live in fear, I can't be a hermit- help me escape my shell.
