Array ( [sid] => 51439 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => poison [time] => 2004-06-11 12:17:20 [hometext] => all work and no joy makes Dolly a dull toy... [bodytext] => Make me a glass
And brew it strong
I want to feel
Like nothing's wrong
Push the glass against my lips
I'll drink and feel my conscious slip
Away with the air from my pierced lungs
Rushing ancient melodies sung
To lullaby me to the roots
I feel the liquid arrows shoot
To sleep me 'til it's all OK
Prepared to wake on my next day
Where the sun will shine
And I am free
From the ropes that presently strangle me

I don't like to lose control
But in this dream
I'd still be whole...
I'd be like I think I used to be:
Able to laugh and act passionately,
Because right now, I feel so bound
To all this consequence I have found
On the next level I wish to be
Able to play and think like 'Me'
Without this pressure we're suffering from
My sanity's been stretched far too long...

'Regime so intense is unnatural!'
I shout from the back of my exam hall
But no-one hears
With brainwashed ears...
I say

All work
And no joy
Makes this Dolly
A dull toy

So Dolly will sip
Until Dolly may fly
Where she waves from the clouds
As the fools live a lie. [comments] => 9 [counter] => 222 [topic] => 61 [informant] => dolly_dagger [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 31 [ratings] => 7 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )

See? You do have a strong voice!

This poem is absolutely magnificent - your voice flows very well through these words, and it is as impressive as warrant me reading this over four or five times already.

*Bows*

'Tis exemplary, Ma'am.
lol. ;o)

I come back and read this poem everytime I'm feeling like crap. It just always has a tendency to sum up my feelings. Thanks :D
