Have you ever felt like this?

Question

I live as a hermit

safe within four walls

where life's intrusions

cannot encroach

No resources left

to deal with other's pain

the phone rings

and I shudder

Won't venture outside

to chance the minefield

fearing one missstep

will be the end

Knowing my limits

dreading the fated

straw that will break

this camel's back.
