Array ( [sid] => 121068 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Too many times [time] => 2006-05-31 16:42:23 [hometext] => Basically, i'm not who i want to be, and i dont recognise myself anymore. I feel used and crappy. I'm sure we've all been here before.. [bodytext] => clarity slaps me in the face
and leaves a painful mark of regret
this path i'm making doesn't suit me
this isn't who i want to be

and i slide down this wall once again
on to the floor, burying my head in my hands
i've been here too many times,
oh too many times i've left pieces of me behind.

the mirror no longer reflects who i am inside,
after every night spent in your bed
i wake to find myself a little more lost
sinking farther down into my own grave.

this downward spiral is tearing me apart
my new name begins and ends with shame
behind my eyes lie empty spaces
and memories of who i used to be.

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. ©
