Array ( [sid] => 101608 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => .:choke.me:. [time] => 2005-07-19 10:02:53 [hometext] => I have felt empty when I wrote this . Distant from my friends - due to exams and holidays etc . Thought I'd sit and write my feelings down . [bodytext] => Lying
Lying here

Choking on my thoughts
Over and over
And over
And.
Over.

Alone.
But yet so supported,
I have everyone
Or do I?
Yes.
I have everyone
But yet I do not have myself

Can I have a thought
To end all thoughts?

A word
To end all words?

Killing.
Killing me
This rancid silence
Is threatening as
I try
to
murder my
memories

In need of
something
new.

To wash away the past

How am I to love
In this world of so much hate?
The same careless faces
passing me by each day.
The truth is
that in this
Day and
Age
The majority of
people are only in
this life for their
own personal gain

Choke.me
As I lay upon
My bed
Dreaming
To set me free.
Choke me.
To.
set.
me.
free.

Choke Me

As I lay alone.
Alone.

Starts out promising, but then just goes on. And on. Forever. You also hit enter a lot, a whole lot, and used a lot of repetition like I am here. Repetition. Like I am here. Really just deterred me. I couldn't even finish it, it was just so long. So. You lost this reader. Because you just kept going on. And on. With.
The.
Same.
Stuff.
And no.
Apparent.
New. Thoughts.

By the end of it I wanted to grant your original wish: I wanted to
choke. you.
To set myself free.

Of course, maybe I'm just too ADHD for pieces like this.
