PIECES

ONLY THE PARANOID SURVIVE

I look behind me, is anyone watching?

I hide behind a pillar or a couch, just so I'm out of sight.

I tried hard to be invisible because I know I'm not invincible.

I try my best to stay awake but you cannot cheat nature.

A little slumber, a little sleep, no more than an hour.

My eyes are so bulgy the toads call me brother.

I have been through a lot but not more than the kid next door.

My head under a hoodie, my face behind sunglasses, folks wonder if I'm undercover.

I sought therapy, but i ended up being the therapist of the psychologist.

Turns out I was too smart for her.

Watched more Chinese movies, I had to up my fighting skills.

Who was I scared of? What was I scared of? Why was I scared?

Peeps said I was crazy. Family said I was possessed.

But I say that is what has kept me alive.

After all I have learnt,'only the paranoid survive'
