Paranoia

• Artist: Amienn
• Description: I'm pretty hesistant to post anything at all. Partly because everything I write that turns out better is very personal to me, and partly because I'm scared to death of having my work stolen.
  Anyhow, we know the feeling we get when they're out to get us.

You're watching me from every window
I never look but know you're there
I pull the curtains in the way but
Still I feel your horrid stare

I never turn around because
I'm scared to meet your face
To share your air and lose my breath
give in to your embrace

I'm scared to death by these four walls
they cage me in a helpless dream
I tell myself it's all in my head
But cannot help but always scream

Your presence makes me panic
and I jump at every sound
I tell myself it's just imagination
but I know you're still around

I scream until I faint in this torment
I know you see me and I know you wait
I try to catch my breath in between
but it's poisoned by your airless weight

I don't dare to go and I don't dare to stay
How long till this panic will go away
I'm scared to insomnia unable to find
That you're only a ghost made up in my mind

Good boy, here's a biscuit. (5/5)

Oh, and in my last comment, I meant to add,

5 stars.

Fantastic poem my friend.

I have similar issues. I find myself unable to sleep, the windows must be shut, locked and covered. Sometimes I run out of rooms for no reason, just because I think someone's watching me.

It sucks. It really does. ( Paranoia, not the poem wink )

Don't be, people won't steal your writing- and if they do, than who cares? They'll be getting fake praise.
