Array ( [sid] => 60061 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Man Staring Back [time] => 2004-08-13 21:59:46 [hometext] => This pome about how people look at me, and how I don't wanna be. [bodytext] => Shadows fall upon wall
To cover me up and all
I don't wanna be what you think I am
I look in the mirror
And I see what you want of me
A homicial maniac
A self hating poet
A human who lives to serve you

I am just another man
Who relies on songs to spead a message
To express my feelings, my emotions, my life
Some say music is just another product
Well, lemme tell you my friend, it is an expression
It's a way for us to show our feelings

But, it turns out, all is lost when no one pays attention to detail
This will just show just how the system will fail
I am a failure placed on earth for man's entertainment
A piece of waste no one wants
A tortured soul no man wants to see, because of me
You don't wanna be me, I don't wanna be you [comments] => 1 [counter] => 151 [topic] => 34 [informant] => Bones [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SongLyrics )

Great write, from this poem I can tell you were raised in the city.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
