My Battle With My Past 7-14-07

Paranoia warrior of death,
My personal stalker of fate

Around every corner he lurks quietly
Tip toeing down my mind's streets
Hiding behind my thoughts
Awaiting my inevitable emotional collapse

All sounds heard
Mere illusions
All that I can see before me
Simplistic fabrications created for my discomfort

Are you the end of my sanity?
Or a subtle reminder 
Showing my loss of grip for reality?

Whoever you are, fearless warrior
I will defeat you
For I have your cards marked in advance
And I will not be oppressed by a cruel tyrant of my past
