Social Cocoon

			Hide from the responsibility 
			Of caring for other people's feelings.
			Run away so fast.
			It is so easy,
			So selfish,
			Yet there is a peace in it:
			You don't feel for other people,
			And they don't bother with you -
			You are alone,
			And you are free.
			But soon this loneliness will come 
			Rushing back in on you,
			Making you wish you had been careful,
			Too late now,
			You are alone,
			And you are lonely...
			But you are safe.
			...Or are you?
