PARANOIA

They say I’m paranoid, I say I’m
just normal - but cautious. I’m
sure he, or someone like him,
can even now, get me. I sit in
my home day and night, but
am happy in my own company.

I’m happy to be at home
but sometimes I’d like to roam
outside in the wind and the sun
- now that would be such fun,
but now it’s all over for me:
they say I’m delusional, you see,
I no longer go out and about
all because of this nasty lout
who assaulted me one fine day
one day I am sure he will pay.
I had a nervous breakdown -
began acting like a demented clown,
but I’m now on the mend
and so greetings I send
to all fellow-sufferers out there
as I suffer depression in my lair
“keep up the good work” is my
message to you all
remember that you, too, can walk tall,
just like me, you can be on the mend,
Good Luck, from another new friend.
