Every step I take,
I feel the eyes upon me,
Every word I speak,
I fear it will betray me.
My thoughts are not my own,
Distorted and confusing
Paranoia, my constant companion,
Always my buddy in the dark,
I try to escape its hold and take
But it leaves its permanent mark.
Paranoia reigns supreme,
I search and seek
From this never-ending dream.
