Array ( [sid] => 145383 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => My Cigarette [time] => 2008-09-26 00:30:33 [hometext] => It's never as bad as it could be. [bodytext] => Life kicks me around, hell it kicks us all
But I've got a roof over me and 4 solid walls
I know my life's a paradise compared to some
But sometimes I feel lost and sometimes I feel numb
Like a road with no signs or some other cliche
And sometimes I wonder why I face the day
Life can get tough, but death must be far worse
Who knows what's beyond this, what realms we'll traverse?
One day we'll find out, we all have our time,
Till' then Onward Ye Mortals! continue the climb
There's moments to live for, to cherish and keep
But bear in mind what you sow you must reap
I'll mourn my failings, but move on and learn
I'll rely on no one, my successes I'll earn,
My path is clear, I just can't take it yet
So I face the wind and light my next cigarette. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 197 [topic] => 65 [informant] => scott [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => toughstuff )
