Array ( [sid] => 13303 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Floundering [time] => 2003-02-25 19:00:00 [hometext] => * This is kind of the same strain as my poem Alone in my Darkened Hovel. I like this one better though. More emotion and less dark I think. Hope u like it as well. * [bodytext] => Trapped behind these walls
Fuelled by my weaknesses
Fuelled by my chronic pain
Lost count of the reasons
Soundproof to muffle my screams
Soaring and stout to keep in my hermitness

Like some deja vu
Cut, clean up the oppressive mess,
Hug my knees to chest,
And collapse inwardly
From my forever tears
Sickened by the predictability

My words fall at my feet
Scooping them up I cradle them
Like a precious, new born baby
Only to have them flow away
Like water through my bruised fingers
Aching I watch them leave

Stumbling through every broken, tear stained mile
Tears come in a monsoon
Turning my path to mud
And there I like, face down
Crying, always crying, but never moving
To ashamed to show my face
