Array ( [sid] => 36372 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Cell [time] => 2004-02-25 23:08:56 [hometext] => Written before I went on Prozac. ::shudder:: Bad times for everyone... [bodytext] => Where has it all gone?
The times of joy have left me
Happiness is only a faded memory
Moving on and leaving me behind
Never to return

There are no flowers
Just dry, withered weeds
Twisting and clawing their way down my throat
I try to breathe, but air won't come
I'm suffocating

Night has fallen
And day is dead
I sit in the starless dark
Silent as stone
My mind gamboling in unattained adventure

Will it ever come true
Or am I stuck here
Trapped in the darkest reaches of my mind
Cold and whimpering
In my own little asylum?

The road is long and twisting
Sharp rocks and stones
No sign of life at all
I stumble and fall back to the craggy earth
It is hopeless

A haunting illusion before me
It's twisted and broken
And I'm stuck here alone
To face my demons in solitude
When can I go home?

I fall back into myself
And scream to the sky
It's over
There's nothing else I can do
I surrender

All that's left is a hollow shadow,
A broken spirit,
A useless form
I have succumbed to my weakness
And retribution has come

I am sullen and quiet
I fall to my knees and cry for salvation
Winds of torment screaming in my ear
I try to block out the noise but it's useless
And drops of sorrow pour down my cheeks

Thunder rattles the heavens
Rain begins to fall
Drizzling onto the scorched earth
I look up into gray
My tears mingling with the rain

The air is biting, bitter, and cold
Rain pounds on my head in heavy sheets
I scream in agony
But the sound is lost in a clap of thunder
So I remain in silence [comments] => 4 [counter] => 158 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Saitou-sama [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

love it love it love it! you get a 5 from me.......by the way, get the hell off of prozac....it causes athapy. im serious and many many side effects they dont tell you about. go to google.com and look up the dark side of prozac.....believe me, it was when i was on prozac, when it was fully in my system, that i felt the most miserable..i couldnt feel anything, not pain, not happiness.....only nothingness. to the point that i was almost sucessful in killing myself, and the hosipal was no fun.

I know Prozac doesn't work very well, but it has numbed a lot of stuff down. I'm going to try and get on something else as soon as I can get back in with the doctor. Thanks for commenting!
