My bubble<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Living in a bubble isn\u2019t so bad
\n<\/u><\/u>The view may be different looking out but then,
\n<\/u><\/u>Who says that what you see is
\n<\/u><\/u>Really me?
\n<\/u><\/u>I only have your word for it.\u00a0<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

Science is great,
\n<\/u><\/u>Every paper I read-at least the ones with
\n<\/u><\/u>The red border at the top,
\n<\/u><\/u>Agree with me.
\n<\/u><\/u>Jabs are bad, that\u2019s important.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

I like my bubble,
\n<\/u><\/u>You tell me that things are changing
\n<\/u><\/u>But life ain\u2019t so different.
\n<\/u><\/u>I\u2019ll get better
\n<\/u><\/u>Science says that there\u2019s a cure
\n<\/u><\/u>In Japan.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll fly next week.
\n<\/u><\/u>Once I\u2019m off the oxygen.
\n<\/u><\/u>When you talk to me
\n<\/u><\/u>The bubble makes it hard to hear.
\n<\/u><\/u>Maybe you should step in,
\n<\/u><\/u>See things from my side?\u00a0<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

Last week,
\n<\/u><\/u>You stepped in.
\n<\/u><\/u>You burst my bubble- so I grew a new one.
\n<\/u><\/u>It really hurt, what you said.
\n<\/u><\/u>Now I have windows that look forward
\n<\/u><\/u>Only.\u00a0<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not so bad living here.
\n<\/u><\/u>At least in my bubble
\n<\/u><\/u>I have no fear.<\/p>\n
