Array ( [sid] => 91660 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Mind of My Own? [time] => 2005-04-20 21:14:37 [hometext] => I think we all might feel like this from time to time. This is how I feel alot lately. I am so lost! [bodytext] => --------------______________----------------------

It's four o' clock
the t.v.'s on
my mind is shut off
and my own thoughts are gone

I change the channel
I change my mind
I change my life

I wanna leave it all behind
cause I don't have a mind of my own
I am influenced by everything I see
and I can't help it now

Everything in my life
just thinks for me
can't help this habit

I'm in love with my disease
worshiping my idle time
a life I cannot seize

Trapped by depression
and I sleep all day
but xanax, valium, attavan
makes it all ok

It's so much more than a cry for attention
no loving hands can sooth this ache
so much more than a war with the world
it's my own degradation

it's my own self hate
I preach my pessimism
right out loud
to anyone who'll listen

I'm not afraid to be alive
I'm afraid to be alone

Late at night my monsters find me
from under the bed or out of my past
all alone with nobody to talk to
sanity gets put to the test

I close my eyes but I'm still haunted
sometimes I get too twisted to sleep
as all my world crumbles all around me
inspirations become admissions of defeat

cuz I don't have a mind of my own
everything in my life just thinks for me [comments] => 1 [counter] => 168 [topic] => 21 [informant] => MajesticPoet [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )
Mind of My Own?

A poem, very easy to relate to. Well done.
