Am I Paranoid?

I call this place my home, but I don't feel safe walking these streets.

Is it still paranoia if the threat is real?

So scared of being a statistic, so I stay inside.

But the isolation is just a slower kind of death.

My health deteriorates and so does my mental state.

I don't fear the shadows nor any supernatural threats.

My fears are simple.

So if you pass me on the street, don't mind me tensing up.

And don't think about how close the fear has pushed me to plant a knife in your neck.
