"Paranoia"

The whispering in the distance,

the glances always seen.

The looks given back and forth,

not knowing what they mean.



That feeling in your gut,

that somethings not right.

That shadow in the distance,

soaring through the night.



The sweat drips from your brow,

you can only hear your heart.

Fear consumes your thoughts,

like a piercing dart.



An emotion so common,

paranoia of the worst.

It takes your mind and thought,

but destroys your life first.
