Agoraphobic

Gazing out from my window
Greeted by the empty night
No-one there to see me
Cowering in my fright
Afraid of those I'll never meet
And of shadows that surround
Though sorrow encumbers my lonely days
I fear to have anyone else around

Agoraphobic, living in fear
Can't allow anyone to ever get near
I wish the fear would go away
So I could finally live a normal day

Friends, lovers, companions
These I'll never own
For the walls which I'm behind
The door has not yet shown
I locked it long ago
Now it's guarded by my fear
And if I could overcome it
I would run right out of here

I would rush into the world
And join in life's parade
I could finally feel alive
If only I knew why I was afraid
