Paranoia

Trust, reliance, confidence
Emitted without fear
Qualm, suspicion, disbelief
Were never held so dear

A grain of sand taken away
Disturbs the hourglass
A drop of water taken out
Upsets the balanced mass

The slightest of anomalies
Will always be detected
For, nothing can escape the truth
Since lies are all deflected

The wind of doubt has gusted
A breath of it inhaled
The essence taken over
No naive thoughts prevailed

An arrow pierces through the heart
A fatal wound, indeed
If left alone, it twinges more
When taken out, it bleeds

Although an antidote exists
It will take long to mend
An everlasting scar is left
To vex until the end
