"Do The Thing!" ~by Mr.Kline



If you live life

As a hermit crab,

Hiding from everyone,

What will you really accomplish?

Because friends are key

To successful life.

And a successful life

Is a good thing to have.

But what is even better

Is having a happy life.

Which you can’t accomplish

If you’re a hermit crab,

Hiding from everyone.

 

You want someone

That you can count on.

You want to be

Counted on by someone.

But you know that

If you hide like a

Hermit crab, that will

Never happen.

So you must come

Out of your shell.

Show everyone

Who you really are.

But what if…

What if…

Enough with the

What if..’s.

Don’t worry about them.

They are just

Evil things that make you

Doubt yourself.

Just come out of your shell,

And show everyone

Who you really are.

 

Being friendly isn’t bad.

But being a hermit crab

Can be.

You worry a lot,

And you hide from everyone.

Stop hiding.

Face them brute force!

This is a battle you

Will win.


You are unique.

You are your own kind

Of person.

An interesting human being.

Don’t let anyone tell

You different.

You are great.

You can do this.

You are NOT a hermit crab,

A thing that worries,

And doubts itself.

NO!
You are a unique

Human being.

Something much better

Than a hermit crab.

You are an

Exceptional individual.

This was a somehow inspired piece. I wrote this recently one weekened and showed people and they said they liked it. It is about, basically, a hermit crab except "in people".
