TORTOISE SYNDROME
Young Kirsty lives inside a box.
With a shell made of isolation.
She doesn't understand the future.
And doesn't remember the past.
Kirsty loves the silence of outside.
She is only eleven years old.
Waits for the rain to return again.
Her heart heavy with misery.
Pops her head out of a window.
Kirsty is looking for a friend.
But she'll never find one here.
Not in this town too small and danky.
Gets on a bus away from the fuss.
Finds a shelter to hide from the day.
Kirsty is looking for a better way.
But inside she finds it so dark.
No-one lives where Kirsty hides.
Society calls her a freak.
She has always been a unique geek.
Suffering from Tortoise Syndrome.
