Hard Candy Shell by Sue Hess Wednesday, February 19, 2003 Share Print Save Become a Fan Some of you might remember when i wrote this although to be honest i didn't know the story myself till much later, its really about my daughter
I"m like an M&M Those little chocolate candies I have a hard outer shell I won't melt In your hands No matter how fragile i sometimes Seem The richness inside me Won't come oozing out to Spoil your nice white Linen I have a hard outer shell Words, your words Can no longer destroy me They may change my Outer color From red to green or blue But it won't rub off on you I have an hard outer shell It may look soft Maybe even inviting But don't be fooled for a minute That sweetness can be decieving Ask anyone who tried to take a bite Without Being properly invited Do you hear me baby I have a hard outer shell I won't melt in your hands Any more

Sue, I can understand these feelings. But they are so hard to maintain with someone you love. Bill
