Description At first glance
I may seem soft and weak,
keeping to myself.
I stay inside my shell
and rarely share my true self
for risk of being hurt.

But beware,
I am not as I seem.
Gentle, yes, and yet...
Tired of being bitten
for peeking out too often,
I've started biting back.

I carry
those who treat me well
and do my best to help.
But I will not hesitate
to fight for myself,
like I used to before.
