Claustrophobia II

Where do I go when I want to be alone?

I did not think this through.

Where did people go when they wanted to be alone?

Or did that need not exist?

I have no space of my own...how will I breathe?

In a park? But everyone will see. Me...my tears if I want to cry.

A cafe? The sea?

This city has too many people. breathing. talking. milling. being.

Where will I go? I need to exhale.

A bathroom? A closet? A corner? Under the bed.

Where can I hide till I want to be found?

Deb...this one struck a note big time 'cos I relate. B'bay makes me feel that way pretty often.
Nothing the sea can't fix though.

I've been googling classmates this evening, on a complete whim, and am so happy for you and all you've accomplished :)

Whatever you do, keep writing!
