locked in - or out

i peek through the curtains
reluctant
apprehensive
as i fear what may be on the other side

i'm filled with a slight sense of hope
that there may be light
beyond the confines of the dark room
that is my life

the curtains drawn
windows locked
the doors are shut
and double bolted

blocking light, and love out
gaining so much from wrapping myself
tightly bound and withdrawn
walls built high to keep everyone at bay

ever so slightly i part the blinds
and stick my nose out into the cold air
