Array ( [sid] => 51002 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Darker Days [time] => 2004-06-08 17:11:48 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Falling farther than I thought,
Never learning what’s been taught.
Begging for a quick goodbye,
Feeling now my soul untie.

Visions flailing, all of you.
Mem’ries showing you’re not true.
Searching for what I can’t find,
To this world myself I bind.

Touch the darkness all around,
Here beneath the open ground.
To the sun I hope and pray,
Never seen the light of day.

What you took I can’t replace,
All that’s left I now misplace.
Is there nothing that I’ve done,
That will not soon be undone?

Though I try I can’t escape,
Lost within this battered cape.
Torn away by waves of pain,
Slowly slipping, am I sane?

Mocking eyes you hold me down,
Upon my head a jesters’ crown.
Falling for the words you say,
Losing all the games you play.

Beaten now I wander lost,
Nothing gained at such a cost.
No direction no restraint,
Stiffly mired in complaint.

Know this now I won’t give up,
Though on my soul you tend to sup.
All the pain you’ve given me,
Opened up my eyes to see.

Now I know the really you,
All your lies have now come true.
Though I know I can’t break free,
So the you will now be me.

Locked within this vicious realm,
Round and round to overwhelm.
Where’s the author to these plays?
Curtain call on darker days.

I liked this work, and some of the language use is terrific. It started to feel a little like American Pie, where you wish it would end on one of it's many strong notes. I think it would improve if you shortened it up a bit.
American Pie is a classic however, so this is just a humble opinoin.

Wow! That was great. Great flow! Sad, and a little hopeless, but a good read nonetheless. I like your stuff.
