Paranoid

I walked down the dark street
wondering why it seemed so long
I thought someone was watching me
but it turned out I was wrong

I get so paranoid
around people I don't know
or when I am just walking
in the dark streets all alone

someone comes up behind me
when I'm sitting in my room
I jump and scream in fright
I hope this paranoia leaves me soon

it's not that I'm scared of the dark
or that I'm afraid of being alone
I can put up with a lot
because of what happened outside this home

I just wish that I wasn't so paranoid
bad things happen, that's what's meant to be
so why am I so paranoid
maybe one day I will see
