Agoraphobia

"A trip to college is easy as hell"
Not for this one I'd like to tell
The night before I start to weep
The thought of going outdoors is killing me!

I open the door and there outside
Is a black hole that will suck me dry
So many danger signs pop up in my head
"Don't go this way it's dark, stay home instead"

I retreat inside and look at my partner
"I'm scared can you be my driver?"
With a sigh he gets up and says
"It's ok, I'll drive you instead"

With a big sigh of relief
I wrap my arms around him, I hold him tight
"I'll try again tomorrow it'll be alright!"

Maybe tomorrow I'll try again
But there's a feeling inside laughing at me
"Don't be silly you know it too! You'll panic again and that'll be the end of you!"

Agoraphobia is the name of this pain
It hurts inside and hurts my brain
I want to be normal just like you
I don't do this on purpose
Are you going to judge me too?!

This is the tale of my mental health
I wish that someday
Someone will help

I wish that one day this will all go away
I need a life so I can grow old and grey!
Written about my agoraphobia.
