"The paranoid cannot love"
I saw that answer about the world
So true it hurts

The paranoid cannot love
Because to love is really to trust
No love in those stunted hearts
Questioning what, when and why
instead
Seize the untouchable with your hands!
Do not grab with avarice!
Just with endless delight...

Paranoia rips you and the rest
Makes a death eater out of you
Swallowing all the light, creating distress
A lifetime of suspicion and pain
A lifetime, wasted away
(She exists but she cannot rule the scene)

I won't join that club, because I know better
To forget, to forget - to trust, forever
Not closed to love
Not closed to life, at all.
