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 By Robb A. Kopp All Rights Reserved © MMX

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
