[hometext] => (More useless stuff about me, I only have one dimple when I smile, (I`m a mutant freak), I speak fluent Portuguese, (unless you speak Portuguese, in which case I`m speaking fluent Cantonese) and I play a wicked air guitar.
About this poem, IT`S DEPRESSING. I debated whether to post this one. Inspired by some of the "my life sucks" stuff I`ve seen on the web.) [bodytext] => GUIDE ME, guide me off this dark and hostile sea. HELP ME, help me, I`m here clinging to debris. SHINE BRIGHT, shine bright. Please shine for me lighthouse light. LIGHT`S DIM, light`s so dim. Show me the way I must swim. Yesterday these waters were mirror smooth. The sky was blue. The slight breezes only soothed. Our cares were few. We trusted our little boat. All that`s changed. I`m all alone. Must stay afloat. SO DARK, so dark. Now it`s just me and the sharks. BIG ROCKS, big rocks instead of welcoming docks. BIG WAVES, big waves planning a watery grave. SO FAR, so far to the shore where you are. Nothing to believe in now that I`m alone. Once there was you, now there`s only the unknown. My guiding star has gone out. Must wait for the dawn. Make for the shore. Mustn`t think about what`s gone.
