Array ( [sid] => 10397 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => A life for the living [time] => 2003-01-14 17:55:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I've had some good times
and I've had some bad
And I have tried to make the best
of all the times I've had

I have walked in the early dawn
and smiled at the rising sun
And I have loved and I have lost
and I did it all for fun

Sometimes I find myself
so lost and all alone
Thought I'd turn and find you there
but you'd already gone

I have cried in the darkness
No comfort, No reprieve
I have stumbled to the edge of madness
on the cliffs of misery

Won't somebody help me
someone throw me a line
I'm going under for the very last time

No rest for the weary
and there's no peace of mind
All these years I spent looking for
and still I can not find

No place that I can call home
and no one who waits me there
All this time I've spent alone
and no one seems to care

I have dreamed in the night time
and sought to find you there
reaching out with open arms
across a bed we used to share

Well there's hope for the future
and tomorrow's another day
And it's a shame when there's no one to blame
when your dreams all fade away

OMG, when I read this poem I was shocked, it made me feel so weird, specially because I had felt in thath way, only that for me theres no hope for the future, and tomorrow is just as today, days which pass by without nothing really changing, for my dreams will always turn to dust as the dawn appears.

But what I am trying to say is: I like your poem, it's very good, I hope I can read more of your work.
