A free verse poem about the terror inside the mind of a paranoid schizophenic.

                                    Cowering in my room
                                      I dare not venture.
                                        Paralyzing fear
                                binds me to my sanctuary.

                                      Subliminal voices
                                        whisper to me.
                                Perception of reality wanes
                                    in my bewildered mind.

                                  Visions of vile entities
                                        rise before me
                                    planning my demise.

                                    How can you not see?
