Enclosed

There are things to do today.

People to see, places to be.

But, I’ll admit I’m trapped.

Does everyone feel the same?

The feelings of claustrophobia

Set in all around me. Deep breath.

Breathe out. I am paralyzed now. Though

I always thought people could see through.

I’ve always felt as fragile as glass.

And the stares or lack thereof

Fill my heart and mind with despair.

Yet, I should get used to it,

That’s what I get for living in the mirror.
