- living with social phobias/agoraphobia... 

The hope is that you know

My long absences are never

A reflection of my emotions

For you; I'm always loving you.

My inability to always manage

How anxiety, fear march straight in

Like ruthless generals on a mission

Is all it's always about; nothing else.

It's a bit like a hostage situation

With a lot of intense negotiating

That always takes a little while to sort.

It all holds me back from everything.

So I'm hoping that you know I love you.

There's no telling what I'd do without you.
