Array ( [sid] => 23448 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => The Dock [time] => 2003-09-18 15:25:00 [hometext] => * I wrote this poem like a year ago and I re-read it and loved it which is strange if u know me. It starts off kind of slow, but hold on for the wild ending!* [bodytext] => I walk along the dock
Nothing seems quite right
I feel out of place
Like I don't belong

So I find a place to sit down
So I plop down feeling sort of silly
Like a clown
Every little sound is magnified

I close my eyes
Blocking out my world
Trying to block out my life
I open them again... failing

I feel eyes on me,
But only a cause of my paranoia
No one can see
I see a boat coming towards me

It swerves, just in time
And soaks me with its spray
I sit still like an idol
And let my clothes
Cling to my body
A wind laps over me
Drying my skin
It becomes hard
It peels and cracks
Opens up and bleeds
I don't move
Just let the pain wash over me
I vaguely hear the screams
As my body... or maybe
My will, my desire to live
Dies.......

Its carcass lying on the dock
Opened and bleeding
For all to see
They throw money
I've become a freak show
As I die,
As I die
A little more each second

Sick of these feelings
Why don't they ***** off?
And go haunt some other morbid creature
Just leave me alone
I've been pestered and tortured enough
I don't have an ounce of strength left

The Dock

I walk along the dock
Nothing seems quite right
I feel out of place
Like I don't belong

So I find a place to sit down
So I plop down feeling sort of silly
Like a clown
Every little sound is magnified

I close my eyes
Blocking out my world
Trying to block out my life
I open them again... failing

I feel eyes on me,
But only a cause of my paranoia
No one can see
I see a boat coming towards me

It swerves, just in time
And soaks me with its spray
I sit still like an idol
And let my clothes
Cling to my body
A wind laps over me
Drying my skin
It becomes hard
It peels and cracks
Opens up and bleeds

Just let the pain wash over me

And go haunt some other morbid creature
Just leave me alone
I've been pestered and tortured enough

This was amazing, I could see why you loved it. I could picture clearly in my mind everything that was happening as you described them. Amazing, absolutely amazing.

I can understand why you like this write.
This is my favorite part...can totally relate to it.
"I close my eyes
Blocking out my world
Trying to block out my life
I open them again... failing"


Keep up the good work!
