Sheets

I wrap myself in sheets
Wanting to experience the outside,
but keeping protection around me.
Wanting to accept the environment around me,
but I hold back.
I only hear, and see from where I stand of what happens in this world.
My body is protected on the outside,
but decaying me on the inside.
Never feeling free to touch and walk into the unknown.
Afraid to expose myself because
I'm too dependent on these sheets.
