Robb A. Kopp Poet Verse

Agoraphobia

Here I sit inside my box to the assembly line of the Boring Masses
Here I sit inside my box dreaming…
enjoying…
dreams that I can’t explain.
Dreams of color and music
Dreams of wine and dance
Dreams of song and joy
They can’t get me here
I feel warmth and safe inside my box.
They can’t make me feel in this fortress of individuality.
Outside I hear a constant rhythm of moans of pain.
Why would I want to be like them?
So, I sit inside my box waiting, dreaming , wondering and fearing
The rhythm is getting closer
louder.
Louder.
Louder!
So, I sit inside my box fearing, anticipating.
I feel cold and scared inside my box.
Scared of them
Here I sit inside my box fearing my insertion to the assembly line of the Boring Masses

Carolyn Devonshire March 8, 2011 at 7:34 AM It's sad that so many people suffer from agoraphobia, Robb. But when they start to feel frightened inside their own boses, the stres must be incredible. Like the way you express fear of succumbing to the "boring masses." Congratulations on your win! Love, Carolyn
