SHUT IN
by Rosemary Clarke
Shut
in.
Hearing of loss, hearing of tragedy hearing the worst.
Hearing of loss, hearing of tragedy hearing the worst.
Shut
in.Can't go outside, can't leave the house something stops me.
Shut
in.
Shut in from the world, shut in by my mind shut out of the future.
Shut in from the world, shut in by my mind shut out of the future.
SILENCE
by Rosemary Clarke
I
still hear her shouting to me to 'get up!'.
I lay alone in bed unable to move but still, she keeps shouting as she always did
'Come on! It's a beautiful morning! Summer's here!'
But I look in the half-light and hide myself under the sheets..
And wish I could open the door.

A description of Agoraphobia? I hope you are not the sufferer. As always you hit the nub of the problem, so thank you for sharing...
ReplyDeleteYou can open that door Rosemary. Keep writing, for words are the keys that unlock so many barriers that exist in this world today.
