Paranoia, a poem by Jason George
Sometimes I feel really paranoid about what people think about me, and I don't mean to. People always say, "Just don't think about it. Ignore them." Well, I try, but somehow, I just seem to care more than I should. I decided to write about it.

So many of my wasteful worries...
Come and go like rush-hour traffic...
It's like a neverending circle...
The path gets smaller and smaller...
!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!
I try to ignore it
It only gets worse
I attempt to hide
Only to find it waiting for me
It's following me
I know it
I'm not crazy
!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!
...paranoia...
!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!
Nobody believes me
They refuse
They can't understand
Help!
I wish they'd see
See what's so terrorizing
It's following me
!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!
...paranoia...

I think many can relate to this poem..I used to feel that way when I was back in my high school days also...always worried about what other students and peers would think of me....I can happily say as you grow older, you don't necessarily completely lose the paranoid feelings but they no longer seem like as huge of a burden as they were in the past! You learn to be comfortable in yourself no matter what other people think! :-D
Great poem!

Well I have to say this is a really good poem. Sure I know people try to help by saying forget it about it dont listen to it, well because Im one of them. But instead of just doing that, building high self esteem works ;). Don't let the snickers or comments bother you, because they just have no life. Find a way to let go of the paranoia, and just be yourself. And being yourself should be good enough for anyone, and someone who accepts you for who you are, is a real friend. Great job though, I liked this poem alot!! =D keep writing, and never give up

This was a really great poem. The truth is i can realate to this poem i usd to alway worry about what people thought of me and i worried so much i became what they wanted me to be not who i wanted to be and it took control of me. But one day i just didn't care anymore and i found people who liked me for me. I know you've probably heard this a millon times but DON'T LISTEN TO THEM! Great job on this poem thanks for updating me.:)

i like the repetition of the word "paranoia"

Come and go like rush-hour traffic..."

I understand exactly what you are going through Jason and you explained it perfectly. Your imagery was explanatory and also intense. Another wonderful poem with a lot of heart and honesty! Take care Jason, Regan

Like so many others I can relate to this poem, It's a great feeling when you finally bash the thoughts out, but then they come back and the cicle starts again. Im writing a poem at the moment, sort-of like this but it shows what happens as a result of paranoia. I might upload it tonight if I have time =].
