Sick and Afraid

Gota find a way, a better way to live, because i`m paranoid about YOU PEOPLE! You scare me by the way you live not noticing me even when you step OVER ME! I don`t care what you think of me. You give me power by allowing me to infect YOUR MIND! You are not unlike me, you know, for you are just one paycheck away from BEING ME! So throw me a quarter if you want. Does it make you feel better about helping me or HELPING YOU! What do you tel our kids at night when you tucK them in their rosy beds. Do you tell them I`M SICK? Well, whatever, i suppose i am. The point is i`m paranoid about you people and your lives that i forgot to live. You just don`t know what it means to be ME!
