That Outside Place Is Scary

For far too long have I sat around
Whilst the war of our nations is the only sound
I hear as I sit in the corner of my room
Trying to shelter myself the gloom and doom.

What will happen if I take a quick peek outside?
Will there be a sign of hope, of an end, of a peace of mind?

I’m scared.
I don’t want to look.
I think I’m too weak.
So I got comfortable again to sob and heave.
Nothing of extreme talent going on here, but I wrote a little poem and decided to put it up.

It's message is fairly straightforward, I'd think - it's about a person too scared to look outside, as scary things such as war, bullying, and chemicals are all around. It would make sense, then, that it is most likely in the [fairly] near future.
