[hometext] => Even though this poem is fictional, it/'/s reality for certain people.
[bodytext] => I suffer from agoraphobia, I/'/m afraid of open spaces. I never leave my house, I don/'/t go to other places. When I try to go out, I feel faint and it gets hard to breathe. I have to go back in my house immediately, I can/'/t leave. I haven/'/t left my house in over twenty years. When I think about what I/'/ve missed, It drives me to tears. My sister told me to get some help and she decided to insist. Now at 4 P.M. on every Friday, I get a visit from my therapist. Sadly, many other people know how I feel. This is no laughing matter, it/'/s a terrible ordeal. I hope that my therapist can help me and I/'/ll be able to go outdoors pretty soon. If that does happen, I/'/ll be so happy and thankful, I will be over the moon.
