Hiding in my house
so no one can see,
my escape route worked out
in case I have to flee.
I am afraid to communicate
with anyone else,
there is nowhere to go
where I can be myself.
Left to my own devices
I always fall down,
just like if I was at sea
I would surely drown.
I am living this life
in the knowledge it is for keeps
as the days pass slowly
and the night time creeps.
Living like this day after day
is a sorry existence
but it takes a lot of
will power and persistence.

Beautifully penned! Love it…
