Paranoia (poem)

I’m in a dark place.
It’s always loud here,
and when it does get quiet…
it’s the worst.
It’s one over-amplified nightmare.
One coincidence after another,
they follow me.
They listen to my every move,
one coincidence after another.
A never ending nightmare.
They follow me,
intrude my every thought,
wait on my every move.
They move, when I move.
Its loud here,
and when it is quiet…
it’s the worst.
They want me to kill myself,
they want me to harm others.
They listen to my every move,
one coincidence after another.
I panic.
They control my panic,
listening to my every thought,
moving to my every move.
One coincidence after another.
It’s always loud here, and when it does get quiet…
it’s the worst.
