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 on the trees
and the birds swoop
living each day like a bleak dream
monotonous routine on loop
A swirl of emotions melts into soundless oblivion 
swamped all over you with a negative caution
You curl up, claw at the walls of the pit
giving up every time but still holding on with a grit
Anxiety rips you out of sleep, 
you label it as Agoraphobia
I tell you we’ll overcome this pain
and start all over again
I tell you, You’re an Artist- create Art
For you touch lives, you are a savior of my heart.
