Array ( [sid] => 50527 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Worthwhile Pain [time] => 2004-06-05 11:57:53 [hometext] => Thought I'd post one of my happier ones on to balance it out abit lol. [bodytext] => That my last overdose didn’t take it’s toll on me,
Because now I’m the happiest I could ever wish to be,
If I’d have died I would have deprived myself greatly,
I know I would have destroyed a future love by acting hastily.

After I’d come round I knew what I had to do,
I had to get out of my unhappy relationship and find a love so true,
I found the strength to put an end to my unhappiness,
It was my fear of being alone I finally had to confess.

I though it better to be with anyone than with no-one,
But that’s when my true unhappiness begun,
I entered into something unhealthy rather than being alone,
Just so I had someone to call me their own.

I stayed that way for far too long,
I clung onto something that was so wrong,
But I eventually got strong and told him to go,
Even though I was happy to see the back of him my tears did flow.

I didn’t know how to by myself,
But I knew that I had to survive for the sake of my own health,
As time went by I became able to cope,
No longer was I at the end of my rope.

Then I met a wonderful guy,
Who showed me the world and gave me the sky,
I think that all my pain was worth it in the end,
As it led me down the path to meeting my best friend.

i don't want people to think that we have some kind of secret pact between us to compliment eachother's writing, we don't..
But, once again, i really only have good to say about this one.
Plus the fact that i know EXACTLY what you are saying....
good work
