[hometext] => Written about a friend who was a social worker, who could no longer stand the pressure of the job.
[bodytext] => Don’t drop your bottle Courtney Don’t let your façade fade Do your best to remain upright In denial to the grave Once there was a man who had it all A wife two kids and a house to call his castle A well paid job of responsibility He had the means and capability He was well liked and he was clever He’d socialise, chat with whoever But with pressure new, weakness grew He hid from what he had to do Don’t drop your bottle Courtney Don’t let your façade fade Do your best to remain upright In denial to the grave Maybe the cases became immense Spending weeks trying to make sense Of other peoples relentless heartbreak You try to give but they just take The lost and forgotten souls that live in shabby holes An underground network led by moles It’s up to you oh great redeemer Look you, now; close is that your sister? Don’t drop your bottle Courtney Don’t let your façade fade Do your best to remain upright In denial to the grave So the children left, set off for Uni The wife had enough of a drunken loony You lost the will and the license to drive Sometimes we all wondered how you stayed alive A gentle man, kind man, jovial and fun You turned your back on friendship for a lifetime on the run Now down the tunnel there comes a light Head towards it with an open heart for a chance to put things right [comments] => 3 [counter] => 186 [topic] => 34 [informant] => anthonygoodwinjnr [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SongLyrics )

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. ©
