The Open Space
It Makes My Heart Race
There’s Nowhere To HIDE
I’m Vulnerable
My House Is Small therefore I’m Safe
I Will Enclose Myself in my mind
All So I Can HIDE
From The Reality Of It All
The world Is To Big Nowhere To HIDE At ALL
Closed Spaces My Friend
I’ll Never Come Out Into The Open AGAIN
Agoraphobia My Curse
What Could Make Life Worse?
I’m A Coward In My Mind
Forever To Spend The Rest Of Time
Alone In My Closed Space
But My Space Keeps My Heart From Starting To Race [comments] => 3 [counter] => 206 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Voice of the Silent [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 5 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

The only thing I wanted to say is that the high level of CAPS really helped to carry the theme of "panic". Not sure if that's what you were going for, but it certainly worked.

I can relate to this sometimes. This is an excellent poem. I can certainly feel the panic in it

you conveyed the fear superbly, especially with the caps, well done.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
