Array ( [sid] => 76679 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Failed [time] => 2004-12-20 23:35:50 [hometext] => A poem that reflects my state of mind right now at this point in time. I don't want to become just another face in the crowd. [bodytext] =>
Bring me shame and set it loose
So around my neck still sits a noose
From when I sat alone

Remove your eyes from my darkened soul
For I in time will pay my toll
I do not need your pity

Have you ever seen me looking sad?
Or sitting staring, looking mad?
I must learn that these are simple things

So again I have failed.
And into my coffin lid I’ve nailed
My last breath of sanity

Why worry how or why they do it
A fickle mind with a line straight through it
It’s so hard to think for myself

As a flower without a purpose
A flower without a stem
I’ve fallen down and broken and became one of them
…A Dullard

Nicely done.
I really like this part...
And into my coffin lid I’ve nailed
My last breath of sanity.
Good job!

Great write.
Broken flowers among nails holding still the cover to ones darkened soul. Sounds beautiful and yet full of pain.
