Paranoia
In the periphery
Of my sight
I notice
Something
That once was
But no longer is
Now that I
Have turned my head
My body
Frozen
Eyes fixed
Like a dam burst
From my gut
A jolt of electricity
Cascades
Over my groin
Crashing
Around my feet
My breath quickens
And…
Shortens…
While…
I…
Wait…
And…
Watch
“Hello?”
Why did I say that?
Attention
Drawn to me
I search
To hide
Yet stillness
Might
Be the best
Place to hide
A minute passes
Still
Nobody appears
My imagination
Playing games
Yet
I darent
Investigate further
Better
To remain
In the periphery
