Paranoia is an irrational fear/concern. Believing that football players called a huddle to talk about you is a paranoid belief. I made the mistake of using my real name (in part to advertise my book) on a poetry site in 2015 and it escalated into Internet death threats and phone calls.

to those that I've known
to those that I've never met
your always remembered
and never forgotten
one day when my bones turn to ash
and when my spirit has left this world
may we drink a pint and remember
all that we given to protect
may we toast to freedom
and the lives we saved
while the world remembers
that we made the sacrifice
we went like warriors til
the very ****** end
fighting til our strength
sapped from our bones
but our love for our country
endures beyond what we've left

May you fly on the wings of angels
and dine with the best of men
Always Remembered Never Forgotten
