Array ( [sid] => 49129 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Hopelessness [time] => 2004-05-25 21:22:05 [hometext] => wrote this during what I thought was my darkest hour. This is a true story [bodytext] => I feel like ripping my hair out
I feel like screaming at the top of my lungs
no matter what I do no one listens
no matter where I go no one listens
Do this and do that is what they say
Don't do this and don't do that is what they say
I feel so hopeless

Turn left, turn right, sit down, stand up
stop, go, run, walk, get a job, go to college
This is what they all say

I feel so helpless
I'm so confused I don't know what to do
I'm so confused I don't know who to listen too
I can't hear my inner voice anymore

It's hopeless for me to even try to argue
It's hopeless for me to even try to do anything
It's hopeless for me to even go out anywhere
It's hopeless for me to even look for my knight
I know I'll never find him now

Everyone’s telling me I'm useless
Everyone’s telling me I'll never see old age
Everyone’s telling me to stop complaining
Everyone’s keeps telling me something
No one listens without judging me

I feel so hopeless to live my life
It's in the hands of others
When will I take the reins and lead?
When will I have the freedom
To come and go as I please

My relationships have been a strain
cause of the reins people have on me
I'm wishing when I pulling on the reins they snap

I feel so hopeless
Someone’s taken control of my life
And it is not me
My only solace is music and work

But now work is telling me what to do
and what not to do
How to do it and when to do it

People say you have to go to school
You have to get a job
You have to make money
You can't do this without telling me
You can't go here unless I know were u are
When ur coming back
Who ur going with

I feel so hopeless
I feel like crying and screaming
These people have cost me boyfriends
These people have cost me opportunities
And now these people will cost me my schooling
They say no you can't stay in residence
You have to take the 2 hours bus ride to and froe
You'll have to wast that 2 hours on the bus
Instead of studying or chatting with friends
You'll have to wast that 2 hours when you could be making friends and partying
You'll have to wast that 2 hours and fail
You'll have to wast that 2 hours
And come home in the dark

They want me to be free
Then they say I can't be
They want me to live my life
Then they take it away

It's better if no one knows me
It's better if people leave
I don't want anyone messed up with me
It's not fair to them
But I crave my freedom
I crave what little friends I have [comments] => 1 [counter] => 143 [topic] => 48 [informant] => StoneAngel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

it's hopeless huh? it's not really... life gets like that sometimes and brings you down but you have to have the confidence to get back up and be a fighter!
