Paranoia

The clock strikes 2 am And I’m alone in a dark room But I can still hear their voices. They want me to fail, to fall on my face They want me to go through hell They want me to lose my mind. 2:51, time stands still. My world revolves around my mistake I can’t think, I can’t breathe. 3:08 I fall asleep Only to dream about the afterlife. And wish I was there.

You certainly have rendered a clear description of typical paranoia with these relatively few words. Good job.
