Apathetic Paranoid


Paranoia has become apathy.
Is this the shadow people
Come to get me?
 
Do they know?  Are they aware?
I just...
 
Don’t...  
 
Care…
 
Swerving the lane
Across the membrane
 
In
 
The
 
Fight
Or
Flight
 
Of the brain
Turned into a machine
 
Of  
 
Madness
 
Bold
&
Cold

I think for much of my life...  I existed in a state of paranoia...

I always thought that paranoia
is a form of intelligence...

I am still paranoid...

But I perhaps channel it differently...

Have a different interaction with it...

Perhaps it has evolved in the laboratory of self...

I was doing something... Sometime around 3 AM...  (a few days ago)

Saw car across the street...

Out of the ordinary...

The lights blinked as I looked out the window...

I watched in curiosity...

Twas strange...

Sort of awoke the cool...
Calm...  Collected

Maniac within...

I was like a person holding an axe...

Peeking out the window...

Like...

Bring it mother fucker...

Crazy I know

But I think these things come from
some of the really really crazy things I have experienced...

For real For real...
