Comical Paranoia?
The Crack In The Door That crack in the door I’ve seen it before In fact Its there everyday So dark and deep I should know it completely I just want it to go away I sleep now at night With one eye open Pondering what’s beyond in the door I hear all the thumping The grumbling The bumping The whispers The tapping The constant rap rapping I just wonder who Who is behind this What do they see When they’re looking at me? I wake in the morning No shower for days Not even a shave I can do I sit in my chair Always aware that the crack in the door Is still there I lost my job My wife has left It has something to do With the crack I bet I need the courage The courage to merge Up next to the crack in the door I slowly start walking The voices are mocking “You’ll never know what we’re here for!” I pick up the poker And get even closer To the door with a G*d awful crack I raise up the tool To plunge it straight through With one horrendous whack Though something to ponder As I step back and wonder Why it seems so familiar to me Removing the poker While feeling “The Joker” Were now two cracks to be seen?

- That was comical good one I usually dont write humor poems so its refreshing. Keep Writing!!!
- The crack is the personification of my fears, but i find that it is not the door that is cracked, but rather my own mind.
- Nice one here....just like a story as i was reading it and got more curious as to what is to be unfold next and you have really captured the meaning of the word paranoia with the readers feeling....unlike the dictionary this one really 'show' the reader paranoia even right to the comical edge....because to some extent some paranoia is silly yet haunting the person having it
- I love your style!!! It is so refreshing to see someone else share such a blast of feelings , and emotion.
- nahhhh,,,,u can do better...simplify,,,,,, d.
