Array ( [sid] => 162399 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => A conversation With myself [time] => 2010-09-20 19:26:16 [hometext] => In 1984, my father was diagnosed with a rare, terminal disease. He was given 6 months to survive, but lasted for 10 years. Each day he withered away a little more. I was only 14. [bodytext] => Everybody has a million questions
Everybody wants to know the score
What you went through was terrible
But it shouldn't haunt you anymore
Everybody wants to know the secrets...you've never told a soul before
But it's not that strange
Because it wouldn't change
What happened anyhow
You made a promise to yourself a long time ago
There were things in your life no-one needed to know
It's one that you'll keep
That you've buried so deep
No-one will tear it out.
You can talk about it now
But you've vowed a code of silence
You're never going to lose the anger
You just learn to deal with it in a different way
You feel a kind of madness
To be living by a code of silence
When you've really got so very much to say.
You still have that rage inside you
That you carry with a certain pride.
The only part of your broken heart you could save.
I know you well enough to know your reasons
It's not the kind of code your inclined to break
Some things are best left alone forever
If a vow is what it takes
How will you pay for your mistakes.
After the moment passes
The emptiness is still very clear
But you hold the tears back
Because you don't crack...that easily
It's time for a resolution
Because the sadness is always here
It's with you now
But that's not how you're supposed to feel.
It's hard to believe after all these years
You can still feel the pain
And still taste the tears
You feel like a fool
Because despite all the rules
You've still got a memory.

A conversation With myself

This is a really sincere piece of writing... it is so full of innocence and at the same time manages to convey the frustrations and fears of a person that has been through alot in life.

Thanks for sharing.
