A Sly Stealthy Disease

      Paranoia, a sly stealthy disease
      Fells men as tall and as massive as trees
         Tiny fears in their minds
         Unravel, leave behind
      The rattle of what was once a fresh breeze

Its quite true.' What good.' Or bad the mind can Do.' Just thinking on effects from others.' How That can shape your thoughts.' And how to get Rid of the negative.Not to be caught.? How Not to be too optomistic.? And avoid the blows' That in my experience 'life can suddenly throw'

Yep, no joke. The mind can heal and destroy. Size not a factor.
