I think it’s time to hide away

to lick my wounds and heal

If it’s beyond these four walls

it can only hurt me

All I need is here, inside

To step outside and try to live

ends in pain and misery

Much better to just sit here

putting walls and screens between myself

and everyone and everything

because nothing good ever comes

of when I stick my head out

and take it upon myself

to act like I belong

My world is here

alone
