Please have a listen to my dsound link below. I've included the words just in case reading is more your thing ;-)

Paranoia

It's like a demon
always creeping

tiptoeing
around my soul

sparking fear
where ever It goes

arteries pumping
about to explode

what is It's motive?
I just don't know

It twists reality
and plays around with me

if I turn around
what will I see

terrified
of what It may be

Some demented
form of Me?

stalking quietly
plotting violently

waiting patiently
to devour Me

endless possibilities
consume me consciously

what the fuck
is wrong with me

the Fear
has gotten to me

Rather a different format. But thats one of the things I love about poetry. One can be creative. I also like how one can work magic with words to convey very specific energy. I enjoyed your poem. Blessings.

thank you @mistermercury :-D I'm totally self taught LOL so I never follow any kind of classic structure but I'm glad you liked it! I enjoy writing more empowering poems usually but the topic of choice was fear - something I can relate to definitely but prefer to let go of instead of immortalizing in words lol however writing things out always helps me, like popping a zit hahahah
thanks again for checking out my entry to this challenge

Brilliantly intense!

thank you @breezin ! I was hesitant on my reading of it. I haven't done much spoken word, this is my second try at it even though I've been writing for years I usually just hear it in my own head lol

hahaha, same here, my very first spoken one was a day or so before I discovered scuzzy's comp - so also new to this game, so this gives us the opportunity to grow together!

you sound very experienced - I'm surprised! but yay! growing together is better than growing alone :)

why thank you - LOL no.
But YAY - I think so too!

Thanks for your submission!

thanks for taking it! ;-)

That builds and builds in intensity. Very creepy feeling to that. Great vocabulary

thank you @article61 ! So happy that intensity came through right.. I was a bit unsure of this one lol
