Agoraphobia 
Can you imagine, all my life, I have suffered from agoraphobia, the fear of being exposed as the true me without a fig leaf to protect me from the scary world, yet I was hellbent on curing myself because, on that stage of life, all I needed was a push, which I found without

Until Then

The birds will sing when I wake,
The crowd will clap, the ground will quake. 
I’ll be heard, I’ll be seen, 
Touching the hearts of the unseen.
I’ll reach the stars, I’ll reach the moon, 
Leaving echoes in every room.
My words will ripple through the air,
A spark of hope, a whispered prayer.
I’ll build bridges where others fall,
I’ll

Living with Agoraphobia

Agoraphobia

The hurt within has a calming effect, 
Hidden inside my mind's covert entrance, 
I rest with torment, happy to reflect, 
On my emotional independence. 

'Let's go out' a grim and ghastly sentence, 
Tortuous and loud, louder than I thought, 
Noise engulfs my ears, silence it is sought.

Agoraphobia

Caged between
giving up and pushing forward
You are trapped within this
solitary zone
where chaos and hate overtake
moments of joy try to escape
You run the distance with nowhere to go
Quarantine days, like a Broadway show
echoes in your head torment you all day long
breaking the warrior who was once very strong
Sitting by your window,
You watch how the light plays

Agoraphobia

Agoraphobia
 Voyaging from Cuba to South Korea across the Pacific
takes about three weeks on an old freighter, but we knew
it had a beginning and an ending.
We have been held up in our flat for three weeks with
no ending in sight, next week it is said or perhaps the week
after that, if we are indoors long,

KJV   John 8:32  "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
Agoraphobia

I mistook my pain for a summer's eve,
For this is what loneliness does to me,
Adrift on an orchid sweet stern petal,
It is lofty thoughts that steer my mettle,
For such frees me from my

I Cannot Go Out There Yet

I will try tomorrow, I tell myself when the phone rings.
The answering machine is full, which makes me grateful.
A relief.
My sister is always checking up.
What does she think I am doing? Dying in here?
I laugh, knowing she will not drive the forty-two minutes it
takes to find out.

I figure she has befriended my nosy neighbor to

Agoraphobia

I c annot go near my front door...
it might mean a surprise is in store.
I might have to speak to people one day -
and golly gosh, I won't know what to say.
You see last December I went to a gathering
of strangers who wanted my blathering.
I didn't stay long, I just wanted to go home.

Agoraphobia

Come walk with me, we'll take a picnic
to the park or beach, we will find a secluded
Place out of harms reach.

Come walk with me, down deserted lane,
By orchards of apple, pear and peach,
a Place out of harms reach.

Come walk with me, down by rivers edge,
watch fish swim, trout, perch and roach,
a Place out of harms

Agoraphobia  

I lifted my glass of red wine towards the lamplight as seeing 
the light through a dreamy, rosy haze; I saw a dirty glass
full of fat finger marks I could not blame the barman since 
I was alone at home thinking I should have been an actor. 
I went on stage once an

Getting Over Agoraphobia

Here I lay oozing out of my box…
…having fallen from the assembly line.
I feel cool air infecting my box.
My fortress of individuality crushed.
I see other boxes and hear their joyous song as they ride above.
On the floor I still hear those moans of pain.
