Array ( [sid] => 36251 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => My Anchor [time] => 2004-02-25 04:11:46 [hometext] => Wrote this between the time of 11:50 and 12midnight. I dont know who i am talking to though. [bodytext] => Some times I just want to quit the race
To quit running
To lay down in the middle of the track
Then I see your smiling face
I hear your gentle words

I don’t have it in me to fight anymore
I don’t want to quit
I don’t want to disappoint you
I don’t know what to do or what to say
I don’t want to lose this battle

I need something to hold on to
I need to see your smiling face
I need to hear your encouraging voice
I need you too much for words
I need you more than the air I breathe

It’s almost 12 am this shall pass
You helped me
You were there
I made it this time and will make it the next
For I know you need me too

As the clock flips over
Smile is back in place
Does it really belong there I do not know
But there it is and there it stays
Till the next time that I will need you again!
