Array ( [sid] => 7045 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Retrospect [time] => 2002-11-20 00:00:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => They told me I was special,
A diamond in the rough,
But special didn't matter
And diamonds weren't enough.
Searching for tomorrow
I found out how it ends.
Loyalties are fragile
And none of you are friends.
Our journey wasn't traveled,
This road was never crossed.
The future was forgotten
And yesterday is lost.
Everything is fading.
These people come and go
And in the darkest moments
True colors start to show.
Everyone is phony,
A product of one place
And though their masks are different
I see a single face.
Then as they seek acceptance,
They follow mass appeal
But all I see is shadows,
Illusions that aren't real.
Everybody's different.
They're slowly leaving me.
But that's the price of progress,
A simple tragedy.
So nothing last forever,
No way to reunite,
And everything I fought for
Are now the things I fight.
But I will not be bitter
And I won't reminisce,
Just take these words of wisdom
And please remember this:
Your knowledge can be painful
A poison to your breath
But ignorance is fatal
When friendships meet their death

Oh my god this is so beautiful
It's a true Masterpiece!! This brought
so many things to my mind, it's so
deep, and full of pain and ache, yet
so full of truth and reality, I really
enjoyed this one alot, Thanks for
sharing this one, it took me to a
different time in life, and gave me
such a vision!
