I am in a crowd
with friends all around
having the time
of their lives.

I know I'm safe,
yet I'm afraid
of something
I can't quite
describe.

I hate open spaces
which have no places
to hide me
from all my fears.

The fears never leave,
whether alone or asleep,
never taking heed
of the damage they leave.

I don't know what I fear
that leaves me alone
all the time,
no matter where I am,
despite what's going on
inside.

All I know
is that I feel alone,
hating it,
yet wanting to hide.

Maybe
what I'm afraid of,
simply put,
is actually living
my life.
I wrote this piece about 5 months ago and was bored so I thought I'd submit it. I think it's pretty self-explanatory although I think most people, whether they have agoraphobia or not, experience this once in a while. I think I wrote it after feeling out of place at a big party that I had gone to with a bunch of friends.

But anyway, enjoy and tell me what you think. Especially the title....I'm not sure about the title on this one.
