paranoia

i wake up,

scared.

i go to sleep,

scared.

i breathe,

scared.

i am,

scared.

life terrifies me.

how could it not?

who knows what lurks behind these imaginary walls?

who knows what demons are crawling under my skin?

who knows if any of the people reading this

are even

true?

or if this is my mind's made-up world

and i’m really in a coma somewhere?

life

terrifies

me.

but life is the only thing i got.

so

i wake up,

i go to sleep,

i breathe.
