My Prison - Agoraphobia

Views (1067) Pain Created on 5-4-07 Flag

Bent double, unable to stand 

 No one around   Tears pour out in force   The pain stabbing like a knife to my core   The hurt engulfs me   Fear grips me   I must lock myself in   Shut the world out   Close all the curtains   Pretend I’m not here   Every knock   Every drip   Every sound   Makes me flinch   Is that him?   Is he here to torture me?   What can he want?   He already robbed from me   Stole my joy   Took my freedom   Thieved my innocence   I’m a prisoner in my own home     Too afraid to let my face show   Bouncing off the walls   But too nervous to go out   Too scared of who is out there   I gather all my inner strength   Move closer to the door   Peek out just to make sure   I can do this   I was strong once   Don’t let this define you   You have the power inside you   The door opens    Sunlight hits my face   I hear footsteps   Someone is coming   Someone is there   Breath escapes me    Did my lung puncture?   I gasp for air   Panic gripping me tight   I bang the door shut   Fall to the floor   The tears pour   I have to face it   This could be my life   Stuck inside   Pain   Fear   Not able to leave here      Agoraphobia

gonzo4201 I really like the way you did this one. I could feel the despair and the hurt, and often I have wondered how someone could go through life being afraid to go outside. Very Good!

deadpoet i cant imagine what it would be like if i couldnt go outside. i love the outdoors way too much. this is a sad fact in life, many people have it yet its hardly ever mentioned. really loved this poem.

Sandwich91 I cant imagine the pain one would go through in this case, for that I am slightly greatful, because I can imagine that even knowing of the pain may be traumatising. Good work
