A Symbiosis

A Symbiosis
Let the world change you, rearrange you,
Experience life, nothing will estrange you
Stay in your bubble, who can blame you
But if you see what I've seen,
Your bubble would shame you
If you breath what I've breathed,
The rubble would claim you,
Crashing down on your palace
Pillars crumble and fall
While your heart has no malice
The pain doubles the toll
Numb in the wall, your leg's trapped
Your mind's free but your head's wrapped
Shrouded in mist, crowded by bricks
Confused, asking "How'd I do this?"
You're a coward, admit!
Living a life of flowers and quips
Surrounded by ruins, you can escape too
Free your mind, your body will fly away soon
If you break out of your shell,
Your shell won't break you
Change the world,
And let the world change you
