Under the Covers

Maybe I just need to clear my head

Meet someone and laugh instead

Of always distancing myself

From the crowd and getting help

I'm at a point where I agree

I no longer want to be held down by the things that once controlled me

I want to walk on the beach in the middle of the summer, meet a new lover and stop hiding under the covers

I hate the feeling of feeling alone, depressed, and anxious next to the phone

Will anyone call or see if I'm here?

Maybe these aren't the friends that I should be near

I'm starting to wonder

I want to discover

What I can uncover

If I just open the shutters

And let the light into my life under the covers
