Pushing people away
How her loneliness shows
She says that’s how it goes
Shrugging shoulders
But for those who know her
They see it’s more than that
Rolled up the welcome mat
Hid the doorknob
Asking others to change
Never makes it better
So, others say let her
Have her own world
She’ll stay where she wants to
Watching through drawn curtains
One thing is for certain
She calls the shots
