I Usually Get Paranoid About the Stupidest Things

Poem #139 Paranoid. Who Me?

By: Serenitree
Written on September 8th, 2011
Now, you all know I've never been
the least bit paranoid,
but there are people out there
who get me quite annoyed.

I never really see them,
they're always out of sight.
but they're there, oh yes, they are.
I just know I'm right.

I can feel them staring.
I know they're right behind me.
I run away and try to hide,
but somehow they always find me.

They're always talking, always laughing.
I wish they'd go away.
but, if they don't....they'll find out
I'll pay them back someday.

One day they'll see I've doubled back
when their ids begin to itch.
it'll be my turn to talk and laugh!
Ain't payback such a *****?

      Showering doesn't stop the invisible stalkers. The id still itches. Showers stop the skin from itching, but not the id.

    grant, this ROCKED!! You just "ace" that whole iambric pantameter stuff tho!! I know, I probably killed that spelling..... I know about putting wirds to a "meter" I just can't do it to save my life! :O



    Sometimes folks stink and they do rotten things.....I'm gettin down with that notion.... I don't think it's making me paranoid...Maybe, just a little more "lippy" tho, in standing up for myself!! :D

      Sierra, I know nothing about iambic pentameter or any other of those poetry terms. I haven't ever studied the art of writing poetry. I just write what I think, and if it rhymes great, and if it has some rhythm, then so much the better. This one seemed to come together just right. I had fun with it.
