So many people
Why are they here?
They’re everywhere
Like ants
They scurry from place to place
Back and forth with purpose
Or simply milling around
They are ants
Insignificant in the grand scheme of the world
It astonishes me
how many beings there are
They smother me
They’re so close
Strangers to me
All of them
Not a familiar face in the busy crowd
Don’t touch me!
I don’t know where you’ve been!
Anxiety takes hold
They’re so close
They suck the air from my lungs
Leaving me breathless
I want to get away
I can’t
I’m trapped
Being here is a requirement
I should be grateful for this
The little space that there is
It will get worse very fast
Once I step into it
Giant metal wings spanning
I will be lost
In a sea of people
Trapped there until the time when I am released
Released from the cold talons of the plane _________________ when she smiles, the rain stops and all is right with the world.

I truly get this, being somewhat claustrophic and having made several 30 hour plus plane trips in the past year I can certainly relate. Well written.

Thank you very much. I'm glad you can relate.....but at the same time not. It doesn't make for hapy times. Hmm D-A-L....I like that I think I'll use it.

I don't mind flying...actually kind of like it but I hate being crammed in a small space with a bunch of other people...especially stinky smelly men who forgot to use deoderant
Nice write
Hugs,

I also like to fly but it gets ruined by all the people. now if I could fly all by my lonesome, I would be a happy camper. Thank you for stopping by and for your nice comment
