My Bed
I lie in my bed
And feel it is here
That I will stay today
For I do not want
To face the world
I do not want everyone to see
What a failure I truly am
I do not want them to see
How fat and ugly I am
For that will not do
Why am I compelled to stay
Behind closed doors today
And to hide
Beneath my duvet
Surely this is not the answer?
