Original Poem || Paranoia

I will never be safe again.


I know they are out to get me.


They’ll come back for vengeance for what I did,

I fought and I killed to save those I loved,

But they’ll still come back for me.


I’m sure they already know where I live,

Where I work,

Where I grew up and where I graduated.


They probably know where I had my first kiss,

My first dance,

My first fight.


They know it all.


They know all of my movements,

They are prowling in the shadows-

Ready to pounce at any second.


They are the apex predator and I am their prey.


They are the hunters and I am the sitting duck-

No idea where they’ll come from,

When they’ll attack,

How they’ll attack.


I just sit.


Waiting for my inevitable demise.


For no-one can walk away from that place without being haunted by the ghosts’ lives that lay on their hands.
