Array ( [sid] => 4917 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Retreating [time] => 2002-10-11 08:00:00 [hometext] => can't seem to get a good grip on life... [bodytext] => I don't mean to sound so sad
I don't mean to sound so jaded
But when your world is falling apart
It's hard to stay optimistic

I discovered myself the other day
What I found didn't surprise me
I found an solitary empty shell
Washed out by endless tears

You have always held my hand
Have always told me it's going to be alright
But I think you might be giving up
I feel the only thing I have left is leaving

I'm scared, I'm tired, I'm frustrated
Controlling myself is getting harder
I'm falling faster than I can think
With nothing under me to catch me

What's the point of pretending I want to be here?
When all I want to do is close my eyes and sleep
Forever this time... I don't want to wake
I want to know nothing... to feel nothing anymore

Wow that was very good and very sad.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
