Paranoia

Are you the one with down cast eyes
Slinging arrows on the sly?

Are you the one with crooked speech
The parasite come to leech?

Are you the one with hidden plan
That only you can understand?

Are you the one behind the mask
Who paints my world in overcast?

Are you the one with savage touch
Reaching out in greedy clutch?

Are you the one with swivel mind
To cease my voice and spirit bind?

Are you the one with sweetest breath
Come to claim untimely death?

Are you the one?
