Running Away
Paranoid, a poem written over a decade ago
I look behind me.
But no one is there.
Someone is following me.
I can feel it in my bones.
I walk down the street, and everyone stares.
They are after me.
I see it in their eyes.
They want to get me,
I better run fast!
Faster!
And faster!
Wherever I run it is the same,
Everyone is out to get me.
It is hard to get away.
Everyone knows what I am thinking.
They know where I am.
I cannot run away.
I hear someone talking,
Fading in the distance.
Thoughts going through my head of them thinking of me.
No existence.
Shut out from the world,
To paranoid to see, of everything I could be.
I am trying to make the day go by.
But every second is like a ticking time bomb.
The world is exploding inside of me.
Their planning a conspiracy.
Because they know I'm in fear.
Trying to avoid eye contact.
Just waiting,
Waiting for the attack.
But I have it all figured out.
I'll play along.
And not look like I'm aware.
Little do they know, I'm One step ahead
Wait...
What if its all in my head...
