Paranoia

Their eyes watch me
Everywhere I go
Small and beady
Like those of a crow
Watching
Sinking,
Feeling
So small
Because they seem
To be waiting for me to
Fall
They wait
Wait on me
And all I want
Is to be set free
From them, they want
What?
What am I supposed to say?
To think?
I sit here, unable to blink
To pull my eyes free from them,
They seem to think I can change who
I am
Everywhere I go
Everything I do
You will help me, won’t you?
No, no, I am alone,
With this paranoia
It’s all I know
You call me
Beckon me
Bring me close,
But all I see
Is what you know
Like looking into the eyes of a crow.
You don’t know me
So look away
Why must I go through this
Every day?
Am I different?
Am I a freak?
Because all I fear
Are those eyes
That never leave.
