I am a Seashell

I am a seashell waiting for
somebody to see
me.
I am shiny andcurled up like a
cinnamon roll.
I’m rough and
sandy.
I swim with the sea and the sea with me.
I am cold inside
so if you touch me
you’ll
shiver and quiver.
I swim around the sea
with animals living inside of me.
I’m joyful in the sea
with fishes and sea creatures
surrounding me.
I like being a shellbecause people can
hear the sea inside of me.
