Can one catch paranoia like a bug
Feeling insecure and ill at ease
Noone near to offer you a hug?
Being skinless makes it hard to love
The heart unwrapped can never take a tease
Can we catch paranoia from above?
The nerves exposed, the shoulders cannot shrug
Nothing seems like fun or a mere wheeze
Neighbours will not let you walk their dog
Is it a disease, is there a drug,
That makes your skin like rubber in the breeze,
Repelling paranoia, that old bug?
Sensitive to danger, the heart tugs
Signals fight or flight or final freeze
Noone near allowed to give that hug
Can one learn to trust when panic leers
See through the futile fantasies of fear
Can one kill paranoia like a bug?
Resolve to live with fear and make it good
How my heart speaks
