Paranoia

Dwelling in the darkness
Enveloping my mind
As my fear rocks me to sleep

A face
Warming, chilling
Breath changing

He’s here, there
Night, day
A puppeteer

Pursuing from corners
Whispering from minds
Creeping, stalking closer

He is
A shadowed giant
A huddled silhouette
A trick of the eye

Doubt protects him

As he is your mind
Your body
Your spirit
You
