Paranoia (RC)

LOOOOOOONG poetry dry spell shows no sign of ending. I have just finally forced myself to write, good or bad. This one puts me to shame.
Rip it to shreds.

"Paranoia"

Like being dragged
Lethargic and murmuring
Onto a somnolent UFO,
Immobilized and probed
While climbing
The stairway to Heaven.
Effortlessly
Connected
Direct line to the clairvoyant.
Drugged up,
Dumbed down.
The material reality
Of telepathy:
Hypnotized
And violated
Left to breathe
And dared to sleep
In this urban cocoon.
This is love.

Hmm, definitely not your best work.

I like these lines. Good stuff, even though it does seem a little forced.

This doesn't seem to fit with the opening lines. I'm also not a fan of those two words sitting on their own lines. They just don't seem important enough to warrant that much attention.

Seems a little too blatant. First two are a bit cliché. I see how you've connected the last two with the clarivoyant line. Not bad.

Ugh. Sorry, that last line...however, I like "urban cocoon."

Force yourself out of your dryspell! You've got a few decent lines in here but it's just not as high quality as your other stuff.

That's what I'm trying so desperately to do by just writing.
I hope this doesn't last long...

And thanks for the comments.
