Is it influenced by radiohead's "OK, Computer"?

Funny enough i'm learning how to play Climbing Up The Walls from Ok Computer on my guitar at the moment - but sadly no. I can understand why you drew this comparison to Radiohead. However i felt really upset and isolated recently and wrote this in a couple of minutes. The day after, i re-edited it and what you see now is the finished product. When i'm in a certain mood, i just let the pen write then read it back later. It is inspired by my constant fear of death, when i start to feel lonely and isolated these thoughts come to me. This makes me sound like i'm likely to commit suicide (which i could never do, because i have so much to give to the world through my work in film, music and writing, also i'm so scared of it i could never do it.) But i am sick of the world in some aspects. this is what i wanted to portray in the poem. I'm thankful for your feedback, it inspires me to keep writing smile

I have two other poems i would like to showcase, if the board is interested i'll showcase them.

P.S. surprised no one compared this to Colonized Mind haha!

Peace and lots of love
