Choose the Theme

*Note* this Topic won't open until August 1

This month's Chosen theme was actually DREAMS BUT because we already had a contest with that as a theme I chose the second runner up.

So the theme is PARANOIA.

Octopus Money

(view spoiler)[
Would someone please help me?
Find what it is that I cannot see
It whispers lies in my ear
So low only I can hear
It whispers lies to break my will
Whispers for me to go out and kill
My strength is beginning to fail
As I slowly go off the rail (hide spoiler)]

I'm just posting this to make it appear before September's.

PARANOIA!!!

I'm NOT paranoid!...wait you're one of them aren't you?!

No... Are YOU one of them? Who sent you?

Me? ...one of who? WHO's asking?...*Looks over shoulder*

ok enough of that

Seconded...

I dunno why but I have to put this up...

Paranoid by Black Sabbath

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
people think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify

Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah

I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late

I actually tried writing a poem the other day...dunno why it kinda came to me. It kinda fits this theme...though it sucks arse.

SOOOOO? ENTER IT!!!!

Plus do you have any idea how many of my poems I can't stand?

P-A-R-A-N-I-O-A

Melancholy



Abandoned,

cornered,

braced in a corner

blank eyes

narrow

kiss-and-tell

lips draw tight

heart

pumps out-of-order,

veins pulse a staccato rhythm .

wake

from a drugged slumber,

a nightmare beside you in bed

traverse a grey quarry,

torn bloodied flesh

suspended from

grimy streaked feet,

scramble a muddy embankment,

slip,

land face down in the earth,

muck in your nose

mouth full of mire

suck hard,

fast,

seek liberation

***

An older one of mine but I hope it fits

Ghost Of You


temperature drops
can feel your breath on my lips
the slightest adjustment of your hips
gone so fast
like it never was
never was
I steel my spine
to a truth I can’t deny
breathe in deep
close my eyes
slip away to clear my mind
let certainty take root
you’re not here
not here
just a figment
a cruel creation
dream that walks the line
balancing between reason and lunacy
lunacy
carefully testing my grip on reality
air still so thick
with a you that does not exist
did you ever?..
I’d once have sworn you did
now…my confidence wavers
wavers
as the emptiness envelops me
