The invitation (a poem)

A friend of mine invited me to lunch, which involves me going to a place I haven’t been since before my last big panic attack…

I don’t think you know
what you’re asking me to do

but I’m doing it for me
as much as I am for you

because an afternoon for you
is a victory for me

    As someone who had severe agoraphobia for several months, this truly resonated with me. Congratulations on this victory, and I wish you many more.
