Array ( [sid] => 125470 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Tormented Remain [time] => 2006-09-08 02:47:41 [hometext] => This is about what I'm going through now as I wait to turn 18 and get a fresh new start and a chance to prove my worth to the world. [bodytext] => No where I can go where I can be free
Tossed about
Floating
Once belonged don’t want me
My once homes now foreign forbidden places
So many past present blurring faces

Everyone’s gawking
Watching
To see
Me collapse
Plunge
Weep
Hating me
Using me as a step to rise
Desperate lies

They all think they know
All about me
My type
My ways
All I’m good for
But they don’t know me and my pain
Unjustness of it driving me insane
Keeps me going
They don’t know the effect of their scorn
The flesh I’ve felt torn
The salt I’ve tasted
The chances they’ve wasted

The cut-throats
Nobodies of the future
Giving in to youth’s false allure
On their high pedestal
Their ruthless play so cruel
Need to unwind
For their act they’ll never find
Other ways than using others
Those who trusted you
Betrayal you can never undo

Entire life has gotten off track
Now I’m too astray to get back
When there’s a left or a right
When there’s no sign in sight
And one will take me home
Both are dark
Scars are yet to make their mark
But you can’t see ahead
And last time you bled

Always find the wrong one
When reversal can’t be done
Of those both one way streets
Rat-a-ta-ta the death drum beats
Now they fade into regrets
Life’s chock full of unpaid debts
Things that got me off the road
The books of mistranslated code
Made life what it is today
Too easy the avoided way

Then there are those things I couldn’t have saved
The paths of which weren’t mine to pave
The cruelty tears my heart
From me they’re ripping my past apart
Not meaning the same to them as it does to me
Not realizing they’re too blinded by their own deceit to see
Always taking taking taking
This is what I get back
Yet they made me into the art I am
I thank them at least for that

For though it is in essence what brought me down
It is also my jeweled crown
In essence what also keeps me up
Pushing
For what I’ve got to give
I can’t wait to give it
Yet I do everyday
I’ve been beat along the way
Molested and used
It was my pride you abused

Now I’m here looking up ahead
This old skin I can’t wait to shed
What I see
Dark
Shadows
Unknown
Yet there is a light
I hope it`s really there
Not just an illusion
Of stars in my hair
It’s growing slowly nearer
Closer to my dearer

Dreams of freedom dawning
Now doth the choir of glories sing
My release
Aquarium to sea
It’s okay to be me
A chance to begin anew
After years of paying what’s due
The time come of only mirth
When I reach the day of my rebirth

It was great to see the hope in your excellent poem. That's right, I said excellent. Excellent, excellent, excellent! There were so many good lines, and metaphors in this, I wouldn't know which to quote as examples. Maybe I should just copy and paste the whole thing???/ Great poem!
