.<\/p>\n

I<\/p>\n

The world outside my realm is strange to me.
\nFor venturing out of my boundaries
\nIs not what I can do so easily.<\/p>\n

I give you my sincere apologies,
\nFor I have fears you might not understand
\nWhat shuts me in from all adversaries.<\/p>\n

It did not happen fast, it was not planned,
\nThis was a thing that developed over time,
\nAnd is not contagious by holding hands.<\/p>\n

I am in prison but not for a crime
\nMy jail cell is more like the mental kind
\nWhere there are no real walls for me to climb.<\/p>\n

Shut in my house is where I am confined.<\/p>\n

II<\/p>\n

I do have contact with the world outside
\nThough family, the web and the TV
\nBut that is not my world where I reside.<\/p>\n

I do admit, with care, I can go see
\nThe world outside, but in my mental state
\nI rush to get back to my home safely.<\/p>\n

So outside my house I can not relate
\nTo things, because I am not part of it.
\nI am an outsider because of fate.<\/p>\n

My world is not too bad I will admit
\nAnd I am thankful for what I have too,
\nBecause I could have given up and quit.<\/p>\n

But I have family to see me through.<\/p>\n

III<\/p>\n

As you can maybe see, my shut in life
\nRevolves around my family the most
\nAnd I am mother as well as a wife.<\/p>\n

So over years, I have become engrossed
\nWith my small world, and not the world out there,
\nWhere I decide if we have rice with roast.<\/p>\n

My family is totally aware
\nOf my small problem and deal with it well
\nThey help me when I am in some despair.<\/p>\n

And when I take a step outside my shell
\nThey give words with lots of encouragement
\nWhich in the end it helps me to excel.<\/p>\n

But for now in my world I am content.<\/p>\n
