Claustrophobic

Claustrophobic

in the inner workings of your mind claustrophobic

in the tight space

you imagine there to be

claustrophobic

in nothingness

in stillness

in surrender

You sit in silence

watching through the window

of your past lifetime

reminiscences

regrets

remembrances

what ifs

what is

what it could have been

and what never will be

because of your claustrophobia

and the inner workings of your mind.
