// Paranoia //
You are jolted awake by
The haunting screams,
Your eyes dart across the room
But it's only the forlorn walls.
Your face is splashed
with freezing water,
You try to wipe it
But it's only your sweat.
The wind sends chills
down your spine,
You run out trying to catch it
But it's ruthless summer outside.
You struggle for breathe and
Each time the air gets heavier,
You surrender to gravity
But it's only the paranoia.
