Prisoner

I am imprisoned by my mind It keeps me locked up tight I can’t go out at daytime I can’t go out at night I live in fear of spiders Snakes and small spaces too Guess what I’m even frightened When I have to flush the loo I have a fear of shopping Why I do not know But I get into a panic Every time I want to go People say come out now I really wish I could I don’t want to upset them Or make them think I’m rude But here imprisoned I must stay Until I get released one day

This is good Andrew; but I hope it's not true. I hope it's just a poem I hope it's just a poem. Many blessings... Lucilla

Luckily its in the past but have been in the dreaded depression and I know how our minds rule our beings and how some people are prisoners in their own homes. Thank you Lucilla for your kind words. There but for the grace of God go I.. Andy
