Sitting At My Window

Sitting at my window 
Too scared to go outside
I sat and watched the world
As the life I knew fly by

Seasons faded into others
Winter turned to spring
And still I sat and pondered
Yet missing remarkable things

I watched life from the window
Blurring in and blurring out
It never crossed my mind
What really living was all about

Hiding behind my glass 
I never really knew
Making memories were a gift
And being with others too

By the time I realized such
It almost was too late
Time had not been kind to me
But the clock I could not hate

Whose fault was it but my own
Too afraid to see beyond 
So I sat in my little chair
Not aware I was being conned

In the end I had so many regrets
Which had been my biggest fear
My only memories of the window
Nothing else I could hold dear

This is sad, and it speak of anxiety and being afraid... Deeply emotive poem..
