As your world gets smaller

At first you feel you're really free

Showing off the real you for all to see

Step back world because here you come

Head held high, let's have some fun.

 

Then slowly those friends who wished you well

Didn't notice or see you when you fell

You search for others but no such luck

You start feeling alone and things begin to ****

 

It gets harder to go out and face the world

Your life slows down from that initial swirl

All those places you longed to roam

Are lost in the reality that it's easier to stay home

 

Your world gets smaller each time you stay home

Smaller............

........smaller.....

.............smaller

Until it and you are all but gone
