Analysis of Through my letter box
Through my letter box I see the sun
Through my letter box I see spring has sprung
Though my letter box life seems so care free
Through my letter box is where I want to be
Through my letter box everything is moving so fast
Through my letter box I know I won't last
Through my letter box is pressure and pain
Through my letter box will friends still see me the same
Through my letter box is a job for tomorrow, I think I'll stay right here and save myself the sorrow

About this poem
It's all about anxiety and how people with anxious thoughts convince themselves into reclusive behaviour
