Is Anyone There

Step outside and feel the cold Daily routines seem much to old Walk the drive, get in your car Drive to work, it's not too far Check in early before the sun All the machines begin to run Drive around to scattered spots Look on the moon and see the dots Turn around no one is there Paranoia brings a heightened scare Just shrug your shoulders, look away For every minute comes ne'er the day Your hands are cold, nose is numb Hear that noise, sounds as a drum Turn around no one is there Shrug your shoulders if you dare Your time has come, can't run away Never shall you see, the light of day

I used to have an irrational fear of nuclear bombs... this reminds me of that. Hearing strange loud noises and thinking "It's gonna happen... I'll hear the sound and then BOOM!... I'm a goner"... brilliantly written! I like how it makes my wind wander...

You have captured the essence of paranoia. pleasantly spooky for a poem... but frighteningly scary in reality. My first impression.... "You do good work"... thanks for your comment on my posts.... Jake
