"stranded"!

reconciling
the within and without
sounds cliched
interior and exterior
more so!
so what!
introverted,reflective
shying away from crowds
an agoraphobic mind!
at crossroads with
a claustrophobic heart!
seeking the outdoors
open spaces!
between the inside
and outside of a world
the oxygen of what
we think and feel
inhale and exhale
is sometimes "stranded"! /original/z.g.

    These lines capture an experience I know well, and I appreciate what you have accomplished here:

    an agoraphobic mind!
    at crossroads with
    a claustrophobic heart!

    I like the way you have expressed the feeling of being stranded.

    "Between the inside and outside of a world"

    Very nice poem!

    not knowing where to go, which direction to turn. Let alone left and right/ there is up and down. Stranded is confusion.

    I tried to leave a comment yesterday so hope I have better luck today. I think the lines Sandy Carlson picks out just leap off the page. All your other oppositions are good but this one is the most powerful.
