Paranoia Listing Makes Us Insane

Paranoia Words… said behind my back Fear… that he’ll never return my love Anger… there’s no comfort in tears Attacks… seem to come unprovoked People… we don’t even know Tension… always bestowed Insanity… too many voices in my head *Written May 10, 2014

it's so easy to let others dictate our days through vivid delusions, Choice Words you've put down in these lines, on diez de Mayo. Funny, when I look up your poems, I refer to it as looking for new CD's. Well, I am glad I went to the record store tonite! and your newest poem is titled ceding, I think.

Dear Carolyn, I don't think you should have any of these worries. People should only be saying good things behind your back and every one loves you. Congratulations on a great win. Love, Joyce

Olive, I think it was Paul Simon who said, "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not really out to get you. No, I'm not paranoid, but know some folks who fear just about everything.

Dear Sheri, Thank you so much for my placement in your contest. Nobody had read this poem previously and the subject of "paranoia" has always intrigued me.
