Your Not Coming In

Listen to poem:
There's a crowd at the door but they ain't coming in. My confidence as shut down, my draw bridge as been pulled in. Don't ask me out its not my scene. I'm no social king or queen. I would never make a star of the silver screen. No celebrity party's, no publicity machine. I see a world that whizzes by and count my blessings that Im alive. no fake smiles, and shaking hands no tortured conversations that our society demands. My nerves on end, a sweating brow. An outside world expects me to kowtow. Well I will live my life in the here and now. ! Love me for who I am,and its not high brow. What am i saying, what do you know the world is my oyster but i can't let go. My comfort blankets that closed front door. leave me alone , I'm just letting you know. chorus I'm not afraid I will show no fear. As I will not let you come anywhere near. leave me alone. don't interfere. This room is my world and your not welcome here. Not sure what form this is wrote as a song but never wrote a lyric before
