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

Jslambert Mister Roboto June 28, 2014 at 12:52 AM 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.

Joyce Johnson June 17, 2014 at 9:29 PM 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 Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser June 17, 2014 at 3:21 PM oh.....i hope this only the subconscious mind speaking... :O scary! Carolyn Devonshire June 17, 2014 at 4:10 PM 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.

Sheri Fresonke Harper June 17, 2014 at 1:34 PM Carolyn, excellent reminder that insanity is a two way street, congratulations on your win. Sorry for the late results, thanks much for entering my contest. Carolyn Devonshire June 17, 2014 at 4:11 PM 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.
