Array ( [sid] => 100990 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Whatever [time] => 2005-07-12 18:05:19 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Sit and dream, try not to scream
as life drifts quickly by.
Lie awake, sweat and shake,
after trying hard to fly.
Hold my hand, take a stand,
against my demented ways.
See a light, it's too bright,
I'm so sorry I can't stay;
I'm so sorry I can't stay...

Say it's a sin to be where I've been,
so why did you let me go?
Your form of help, it was no help.
What is it you didn't know?
Look around, see what I've found -
Defensive atrocities.
When I'm done, you'll have won -
but I'm sure I'll be free.

Sit and dream, try not to scream
as the past chases me.
Have a drink, try not to think
of the thoughts from which I flee.
Luminescent soul, lost its goal
as tomorrow speeds on by.
It's all too fast; no way to last.
When am I due to die...
When am I due to die?

Very good structure. You really nailed the feeling of desperation.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
