Paranoid

How do I escape these voices inside my head?
Pushing me down, as soon as I have risen
(Is it just me? Or have I not been forgiven?)

Dark clouds appear; and my smile fades
The angel on my shoulder soon falls to her death.
How do i escape these voices inside my head?

The constant staring has made me weak
The constant glaring makes me feel like a freak
(Is it just me? Or have i not been forgiven?)

Without affection I feel incomplete; but
I avoid love like it is the plague
How do i escape these voices inside my head?

Authority can bring tears to my eyes
For I fear that disappointment lies in their mind
(Is it just me? Or have I not been forgiven?)

Someday I will overcome this fear;
Of expressing myself without being judged
Insecurity will no longer win the war
(Is it just me? Or have I not been forgiven?)

  1. I like the theme of this poem. The villanelle form works well with this subject matter. It's also a very personal poem, but I think you're overcoming all these fears!
