Paranoid



What is all this animosity..
Is it targeted at me,
Or am I just paranoid.
I'm afraid of what the world will do
To me if, how, when and who
Is revealed at last
From underneath this mask.
Such a heavy task to take
Is this just another mistake.
To write on and on without an end
the words, they now become my friend.
Thoughts to words,
Hidden animosity
Targeted, all of them, at me,
Paranoid.
