Safe in my bed

The world goes on 
outside the doors
but I'm in no hurry
to join the thralls

I'm in hiding

the bedcovers keep me warm
and the door keeps me safe
there is no reason to leave
no one to try for
only me

but outside the world goes on
without me
people rushing to and throe
working hard
playing hard with lovers and friends
but I'm safe here

in hiding

No social games to play 
no one to impress
no one to second guess
I don't feel stupid
here 

alone in my bed

outside its frightening
the demands on yourself
that you should fit in
be thin
be happy
even if it breaks you up
and no one takes the time
to see if your fine
when really your cracking up

and so I'm hiding
safe here in my bed
with no one to impress
alone
but comfortable with it
and maybe one day
someone will find me
smiling in my bed

dead
