Walking around with mental health issues in in the city
I see people walk across the street
I see people drink inside coffee shops
I see people inside bars drinking beers
And every now and then
I see someone that stands out
In the crowd
Someone suspicious
Someone out of place
Maybe it’s their demeanor
Maybe it’s their clothing
Maybe it’s their strange behavior
But something doesn’t seem right
And I start to worry
And I start to question
And I start to think deeply
Why is this person wearing sunglasses inside?
Why is this person wearing a hat?
Why is this person alone?
And despite the anti-psychotics
And sleep treatments
The paranoia seeps in and
This guy starts to look more suspicious
This guy starts to look more deceiving
This guy starts to look less common
And I start to worry that I am being followed
Again…
