Paranoia Poem by Luz H.

Sea of confusion leading to imagined storms
Shadows, thunder, lightning afflict the soul
Dangerous manifestations lurk around
Ghostly sharks encircle the mind
Innocent parties suspected
Perceived smoke forms
Self fulfilling frauds
Assume imagined
Wrongs
Lies!

Distortions, grotesque interpretations
Like foggy mirrors at the county fair
That give birth to irrational dread
Gaseous, dark, baleful clouds
Blocking the guiding light
Climax...culminating in
Dread, full-fledged
Panic Attack
Shipwreck
Death!
