Phantom Paranoia

Everyone is looking at me,
why can't they just let me be.

So afraid to look around,
fear of rejection and put down.

My heart is pounding my mind is racing,
my entire body has reached its aching.

I wanna be free from their eyes,
and not be the root of their lies.

I don't say a word or they'll hear,
how much I am consumed with fear.

Scared and frightened I'm off to bed,
silently pull the covers over my head.
