Paranoia

Clear thoughts choked by delusions

unbalanced, unsound neurosis

borderline instabilities

give me loss of faith and

create a crawling anxiety

that traps my mind and body

within 4 walls.

A fast heartbeat

requires a cure to slow down

this strangled breath.

I gasp for air

eyes glazed over with fear.

I dig my nails into oblivion

gripping a life once nurtured

invaluable to all eyes.

Feeling our bliss slip

is my paranoia.

Anti-anxiety meds might remedy this disillusion.

What I need is an intervention.
